Despite how the Yankees have made it look this season, triple plays are a fairly rare thing. They’ve turned three so far this season and six since 2010, but prior to that, they hadn’t completed one since 1968.
Even more remarkable was the fact that it ended the game. No triple play had been the final action of a game since Eric Bruntlett pulled off an unassisted one to end a Phillies-Mets game in 2009.
The Yankees ending a game in such a rare fashion got us wondering other times they’ve had games end on some sort of weird or rare play.
