Astros and the DP record
« on: June 11, 2013, 03:12:00 pm »
Nice read from Appy: Houston Astros Team Double Play Record in Reach

Excerpt: "Last week, I covered Jose Altuve's impressive season turning the double play and how he has a shot to break the team and maybe the AL record.  Today, let's look at the double play from a team perspective. *** "
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

The Astros already share the ML record for double plays turned in one game with 7 against the Giants on May 4, 1969.

I remember listening to that one on the radio.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

I vaguely recall that game too.
