Watch: Philadelphia Phillies Turn Bizarre Triple Play Not Seen Since 1929

A Detroit Tigers rally against the Philadelphia Phillies was choked off Monday night when Philadelphia turned a triple play, aided and abetted by some confused base running.

As a result, the Phillies made the first 1-3-5 triple play in more than 90 years en route to an 8-1 win, according to ESPN.

“That was a pretty cool moment for all of us,” Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper said. “It was like going back to Little League, we were so excited.”

The last 1-3-5 triple play came when the Tigers turned one against the Boston Red Sox on July 11, 1929, the Society for American Baseball Research said.

The third inning did not start auspiciously for Phillies pitcher Aaron  Nola, who with none out had rubbers at the corners after a pair of singles.

Detroit outfielder Matt Vierling broke his bat, sending a weak line drive toward Nola, who grabbed the ball for the out.

Detroit catcher Carson Kelly had started at the crack of the ball hitting the bat, but was marooned so far off of first base that Nola tossed the ball to Harper for the second out.

“I realized [what might happen] after I threw it to first,” said Nola, who eventually struck out six and threw seven innings of one-run ball, according to MLB.com.

“It happened so quick. It was pretty cool. I guess it was a good way to get out of the inning,” he said.

Over at third base, Detroit shortstop Zach McKinstry inched down the line at third, then ran like mad for home plate after Nola made his throw.

“A lot of things [were] flying,” McKinstry said.

“I just kind of took a shuffle, shuffle and went home on it. I don’t want to say I wasn’t sure, but I thought the ball hit the ground,” he said.

Nope.

Then came the realization that instead of scoring Detroit’s first run, he was going to be the third out.

“I just kind of looked at Vierling like, ‘That was a line drive?’” McKinstry said. “And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ So, palm-to-face kind of thing.”

Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs pointed toward third as McKinstry was helping the Phillies make a bit of baseball history.  Harper made a lazy toss to third baseman Alec Bohm, and that was the cap to the 1-3-5 triple play.

“I don’t know if it was the bat breaking, but [McKinstry] definitely thought the ball hit the ground,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch told ESPN.

“It wasn’t like he gave up on the play,” Hinch said, according to MLB.

“I mean, he went full speed into home thinking completely that the ball had touched the ground and Nola had spun and thrown to first for some reason. So he misread the play,” he said.

Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said he also had a limited understanding of what his players were doing.

“It’s funny because from where we sit, there’s a glare on that left field fence-wall. You can’t see the ball coming off the bat, so I had no idea where the ball went. And all of a sudden, they were throwing it around, and then they were running off the field,” he said.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
