The rarest play in baseball - The unassisted Triple Play.

In the bottom of the ninth, with two on and 0 outs, 2nd basemanEric Bruntlett catches a line drive, immediately steps on second and then tags the runner from first (who was running on the pitch) to end the game.

I once completed the unassisted triple play in Little League. It remains my second greatest personal sports achievement - behind scoring a TD in a JV game and ahead of a bronze medal in the discus in the 7th grade Shenandoah-Clarinda track meet (there were only three participants).
