Unassisted Triple Plays
You could go here, here, here or here to read about Asdrubal Cabrera’s unassisted triple play that took place today. If found this interesting because there are a couple Fort Wayne ties (believe it or not).
The most obvious, Cabrera is the player who seized an opportunity to take the 2B position from former Wizard, Josh Barfield (who remains in Triple-A Buffalo). But what I also found interesting is the fact that the ONLY unassisted triple play in World Series play history was turned in by another member of the Cleveland Indians.
In the 1920 World Series, Bill Wambsganss turned an unassisted triple play. “Wamby” grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana where he attended Concordia College. He later returned and managed the Fort Wayne Daisies in 1945 and 1946.
