August 18, 200620 yr Friday at 10 on Baseball Tonight I realize there is a thread on this somewhere, so feel free to merge
August 18, 200620 yr On the preview they showed Conine's throw in 2003 against the Giants, Encarnacion making a running catch in RF, and Lowell making the catch in the dugout, among others...We'll see which ones makes it.
August 18, 200620 yr Looie and Seabass had so many crazy DP's, one of them has to make it. Sheff's grab in the '97 series may get a spot too. But The Play at The Plate has to be #1.

August 18, 200620 yr On the ESPN.com video preview for tonight, Tim talked about Luis Castillo and Alex Gonzalez taking grounders, then messing around afterwards ("Gonzalez could do things with a baseball I've never seen before"). Jeff Brantley discussed Juan Pierre covering ground in the "nooks and crannies" of our football stadium, Tino Martinez talked about Charles Johnson, and to wrap up they mention Pudge. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?page=webgems
August 18, 200620 yr ? Florida has turned one triple play in team history -- on July 28, 2002, vs. Vladimir Guerrero and the Expos. Can someone refresh my memory, I don't remember this at all. EDIT: Never mind, found it... Marlins Turn First Triple Play Ever Sun Jul 28, 3:18 PM ET MONTREAL (AP) - The Florida Marlins turned the first triple play in team history Sunday, when third baseman Mike Lowell caught Expos outfielder Vladimir Guerrero's liner with two runners on the move in the third inning. With Jose Vidro on first base after a single, and Brad Wilkerson on second after a walk, Guerrero hit a 3-2 pitch from Julian Tavarez. Lowell grabbed the liner for the first out, then got the second by tagging out Wilkerson, who broke from second on the pitch. Vidro also was running with the pitch and was standing at second base when Tavarez motioned to Lowell to throw to first. Lowell threw over to first baseman Derek Lee for the third out. It was the first triple play in 1,496 games for Florida, which began play in 1993. There have been three triple plays in the majors this season. Texas got one against Seattle on April 14, and the New York Mets turned one May 17 in San Diego. It was the second triple play turned against Montreal in the Expos' 34-year history.
August 18, 200620 yr The play at the plate against the Giants should be #1. Whitmore's catch has to be top 3. #3 could be any number of plays, although Sheffield had a catch against the Indians in the 1997 WS that robbed a home run from someone. But the 1st two are locks IMO.
