===Most recent MLB unassisted triple play===
The most recent MLB unassisted triple play is consistent with the above – it occurred on August 23, 2009, by second baseman [[Eric Bruntlett]] of the [[Philadelphia Phillies]], in a game against the [[New York Mets]]. In the bottom of the ninth inning with men on first and second base, the base runners were both running when [[Jeff Francoeur]] hit a line drive very close to second base, which Bruntlett was covering. Bruntlett caught the ball (first out), stepped on second base before [[Luis Castillo (second baseman)|Luis Castillo]] could tag up (second out), and then tagged [[Daniel Murphy (baseball)|Daniel Murphy]] who was approaching from first base (third out) to end the game.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bruntlett's triple play |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DviV7CYrc-E |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/DviV7CYrc-E| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live| website=YouTube | date=April 19, 2013 |access-date=October 21, 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets Play by Play and Boxscore |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200908230.shtml | website=Baseball Reference | date=August 23, 2009| access-date=October 21, 2016}}</ref> This was only the second game-ending unassisted triple play in MLB history, the first one having occurred in 1927.<ref>{{cite web |first=Todd |last=Zolecki |title=Bruntlett joins rare company |url=http://m.mlb.com/news/article/6585864/ | website=MLB.com | date=August 23, 2009}}</ref>
