I’d like to comment on the unassisted triple play portion of your feature today. Of the 15 total in history, the Cleveland Spiders/Indians (so called at the time performed) have participated in nearly half with 6. Which is double the franchises in line behind them. They pulled off the first two in history. Including, to this day the only one ever in a World Series (‘20). Other rarities to add to this oddity are that Cleveland is not only the owner of the 1st three straight (yet in not consecutive years) 1909, 1920, 1923,. This is the only occurrence of the so called three-peat. Oddly enough they are also the only team on the other end of this. They also have dubiously acquired the only 2 straight defeats (‘27-‘68). Weird? Some might agree. There are dozens of these gems in my publication.
I’m sorry I forgot to preface the “unassisted triple plays” post I submitted by introducing first with the Cleveland connection to your feature on the oddity of being no-hit 3 times this year with the same pitcher taking the loss.
