this reminded me of that bagwell unassisted double play he made. where the guy popped up a bunt but baggy let it drop so he picked it up tagged the guy at first and stepped on the bag, inning over.

Very cool! Only the 14th time in mlb history, including once last year (Tulo) and once in the World Series (1920).

The local paper had a list of all of them. There were 6 of them in the 20's, and there have now been 4 in the 2000's. Isn't odd how they come in bunches. BTW the guy who did the one in the WS also hit a Grand Slam that game. (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats8.shtml)

Totally different plays. Bags' was much more cerebral than Cabrera's.

Mr. Picky would like to point out that while the unassisted triple play and the first grand slam in WS history happened in the same game, Bill Wambsganss did the former while Elmer Smith did the latter.

Still an amazing coincidence, though.

Yep, read it wrong the first time in the write up.

The runner was standing on first when Bagwell tagged him and then touched first. Umps had to confer for 5 minutes before they verified among themselves that he did it in the correct order. Bagwell already knew he had.
