Batter hits a line drive that hits the runner leaving first base; ball then ricochets and hits the runner leaving second base. In the interim, batter runs out of the base path on his way to first. |

Another possibility Batter hits an infield fly - out on Infield Fly Rule, Ball hits batter standing off second - 2nd. out, Runner on first passes runner standing off second - 3rd. out. |

Jerry -- good example. However, I believe the runner on 1st is not out by passing the 2d runner, since the runner on 2d was already out. |

I'm not 100% sure but since a runner got hit by the ball, its a dead ball right then, so anything that happens afterwards is irrelevant. I assume that would include hitting someone else |

I wasn't too sure about my ricochet theory either. Probably never happened in a game anyhow. |

The easiest way to get a triple play without a fielder touching the ball in that situation is the batter hits a home run and none of the runners touch 3rd base(or home) and the opposing team appeals the play. If you count the appeal as the opposing team touching the ball,then the manager switched the pitcher and 3b before the next pitch so none of the original fielders touched it. If youre going to be anal like that though then technically its impossible because the pitcher is a fielder and he touched the ball before anything happened so that makes it impossible. |

John -- you are correct. The ball is dead after it hits the first runner (first runner is then out, second runner goes back to his base). |

All of this reminds me of the crap weather in which they tried to play the World Series. There was a fly ball on the infield with runners on 1st and 2nd, no infield fly was called because of the fierce wind and the rain. And when the infield fly rule is no longer valid because of the weather, at that point they're no longer playing baseball. The overpaid, worthless, owner's whore Commish almost screwed up a WS as much as Arnold Rothstein. |

I can think of many interference/base running outs that could result in the forementioned TP. |

With less than 2 outs and a runner on first base, a missed 3rd strike by the catcher, the batter cannot run to first if the base is occupied. |

Slight digression, but I just thought of a triple play possibility that probably has never occurred in the history of the game: |

You'd have to have incredibly slow runners for that to happen. With nobody out, the runners will have a decent lead and then move on anything on the ground. Would be very, very difficult to pull off. That is why the batter is usually the last out in a double play (or triple play) because they are slower getting out of the batter's box. |

Well of course it is only hypothetical...if the runners were really slow the second baseman could throw to first and nail the batter for a quadruple play! |

Some of the mid-1980s Dodgers could have done it...Mike Scoscia, Franklin Stubbs, Mike Marshall, and Fernando Valenzuela being at the plate...they were really really slow. |

How about the bases are loaded and the guy on third heads home and breaks his leg ? All of the other three runners past him and they are all declared out. Is this right ? |
