  • Triple Plays Analysis

    Triple Plays Analysis

    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

    Cups of Coffee: Frank Leary ©DiamondsintheDusk.com Frank “Damp Flinger” Leary has a major April 30, 1907 league career that lasts a total of 36 Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds days with the Cincinnati Reds in the Palace of the Fans, Cincinnati, Ohio early part of the 1907 season. During that span, the 5-foot-10 right- hander appears in only two games for manager Ned Hanlon’s Reds before being sent back down to the minors on May 17. Less than five months later, the spitball artist will be dead from complications brought about by an appendicitis followed by several hours of general peritonitis. Leary is 26 years old at the time of his death. One of 61 Penn alumni to make it to the major leagues and a successful lawyer in his own right, Leary makes his major league debut on April 30, against the eventual World Series champion Chicago Cubs in Cincinnati’s Palace of the Fans. In a game where 18 walks are issued by three pitchers who “occupied the firing line,” he relieves starting pitcher Charley Hall at the start of the fourth inning. He pitches well, allowing only one run (in his first inning of work) on four hits, five walks and four strikeouts in six innings. However the lone run breaks a 3-3 tie and is the deciding factor in a 4-3 Cub win with Leary absorbing the loss and Orvie Overall pick- ing up the win. Leary earns the starting nod on May 5, against the St. Louis Cardinals in his second and final major league appearance.
