Before today the last triple play by the Yankees consisted of a pop fly to the pitcher for out #1 who threw to the third baseman for out #2 and then to the first baseman for out #3.
Which Yankee got the third out?
BONUS: Who was the third baseman that got the second out?
That was quick! Yes, the triple play happened in 1968. Mickey Mantle spent the last two years of his career playing first base. Bobby Cox was a rookie 3B batting .215 on the season. And for the record, Dooley Womack was the pitcher.
Whoops, Cox batted .229 in 1968. He hit .215 in 1969.
