Question Update

In my haste to stump you guys, I omitted a very important factor....I meant to say Second Basemen to do the UTP....

RJ---you're right---it was done 12 times

3 by second basemen
2 by first basemen
7 by shortstop..

So the Question is --Name the "ONLY" 3 "Second BaseMen" to do the UTP---unassisted triple play...kapt

Heres todays answer to the UTP (Unassisted Triple PLay

the 3 second basemen that pulled off the Unassisted Triple Play are...

Bill Wambsganss 10-10-1920-Indians

Randy Velarde 05-29-2000-A's

Mickey Moradini 9-20-1992-Phillies
