Unassisted Triple Play. In baseball history, there have only been 14 Unassisted Triple Plays in history. Fourteen. Take all those stats that you gave before, and now apply it to five less occurrences in baseball history. Furthermore, consider the circumstances of an Unassisted Triple Play.
First, if you're an outfielder, forget about it. It will never happen for you. So, by position, you are disqualified. Second, unless you are a middle infielder, your chances of turning one go down drastically (well, as drastic as you can for something so rare). Finally, it requires men to be on base in the right places, and a ball to be hit in the right spot. A pitcher, in theory, controls his own destiny with a perfect game. An infielder can only take advantage of an opportunity.
Sure, there are other possible impressive feats, but I'm going with the Unassisted Triple Play. And, on a side note, I probably am biased, because I have actually seen one in person. Back in 2003, in St. Louis, I watched Rafael Furcal turn one against the Cardinals. I was a HUGE Braves fan back then (have cooled off on baseball in general since), and I went with my cousin, who is a big Cardinals fan. And I was sitting in a throng of Cardinal fans. I can't remember who started the game, but I do remember that John Smoltz blew the save and cost the Braves the game. Anyway, the game was a pitcher's duel, and the Redbirds had men on second and first. The ball was hit at Furcal, who made a heck of a grab, stepped on second and then ran down the guy going back to first.
Here was my thought process, immediately after:
"Wow, his catch saved a run."
"Hey, we just got runners off the bases."
"Hey, we're out of the inning!"
"Holy shit! That was a triple play!"
"Holy fucking shit! THAT WAS AN UNASSISTED TRIPLE PLAY!"
Seriously, it took me a few seconds for it all to register. It was kind of funny, because I was sitting with all these Cardinal fans, who had been excited about scoring opportunity, but now were starting to settle back down in their seat. Then it finally hit me that I had just witnessed an Unassisted Triple Play, and I leaped out of my seat and started going nuts screaming "UNASSISTED TRIPLE PLAY!". The people around me, for some reason, weren't as happy with the history they just saw. Oh well, poor losers. Well, they were winners later, but losers at that point.
Anyways, Unassisted Triple Play. Tough.
