Just got back from my trip to the bay, Last year saw the Yankees git their first Triple Play in 40 years against the A's.
On wednesday afternoon at the A's V Kansas game, i saw a 9-3 play in which A's Michael Taylor hit the ball and for all purposes looked a definate hit, but the Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur fielded the ball in shallow territory and fired the ball back to ffirst base resulting in an out. I believe this is only the 5th since 1974 in the American League.

The great thing about baseball is that more often than not, each game you attend, you see something you've not seen before, something that's rare, or indeed something that nobody has seen before.

Saw Pablo Sandoval hit for the cycle on Thursday evening - probably for the only time in his career!

This has probably happened before but I haven’t seen it happen. The home plate Umpire has had to leave the game after being injured on the first warm-up pitch from Zach Britton.

I'd hope that the following is rare ... it's just daft, really.

This is the SECOND inning of a 0-0 game. The 7th player in the Rockies lineup makes the 2nd out of the inning, runner on 2nd.

The 8th player in the lineup is a new shortstop Hector Gomez who has 2 career major league at bats (after entering the previous night's game lateish). Average is .000, OBP is .000.

Bochy issues an intentional walk so we can pitch to the pitcher Pomeranz instead (who has zero career at bats but is just as likely to get lucky as the shortstop.)

The New York Mets and some other teams have intentionally walked Jeff Mathis to get to the pitcher even though at times the pitcher has had better numbers than Mathis.

First time I took a friend to a baseball game; was in Philly and top of the first (bearing in mind he'd never watched baseball and had literally no clue) the Phillies got a triple play - Whole ballpark goes crazy and my somewhat bemused and annoyed mate has no idea what happened or how rare and fantastic it was - just pissed cos he has no idea:
1) Why everyone is going ape
2) Why the players are now all going off the field
3) WTF???
