I once saw a play at Yankee Stadium where the Yankees had two men on base and the batter hit one in the gap. Both runners rounded third but at that point the lead runner slowed down and both were only about twenty feet apart. When the throw from the outfield came in to Carlton Fisk he was able to tag out both of them successively, about a second apart. How would you score that? He got two outs with two consecutive tags on one play (assuming the centerfielder threw the ball, is it your standard 8-2-2 double play?) I remember one of the runners was Dale Berra; I forget the other.
