The streak includes Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson and triple plays.
Unfortunate for Robinson, the triple plays weren’t his defensive doing, but were defensively begun by his offense.
Sixty-two years ago on this day, the Orioles were playing the Washington Senators at Memorial Stadium. At the time, both teams had a losing record. Robinson was 21 years old and in his fourth season with the O’s.
Triple Play #1
That day, he batted sixth and – of course – played third base. He went 2-4 on the day and had a double.
