@@njw5869 Ahhhh yes....we Dodger fans will NEVER forget Fernando Tatis....SENIOR! I still cringe when his son comes to bat against us with the bases loaded. Of course, it's only happened once. So far. Doesn't mean it can't happen again.... Let's hope it's not against the Dodgers next time.
I don't think that was "unassisted". There's no record of it anywhere. Zimmerman DID have two thirds of a 3-3-5 triple play against the Giants... It would be nearly impossible for a first baseman to get an "unassissted" triple play. It would have to start similarly to the Zimmerman play - a line drive caught by the first baseman, who then steps on first to double up the runner there... But then, to be "unassisted" the 1B would have to beat a runner going back to second....or third....or breaking for hom. No 1B is going to go 90 feet and beat a runner....unless it's one of the worst base-running blunders in history!!
@@axelkyster2642 It would have to be a hit-and-run, liner caught on the second base side of the fielder, with an immediate tag of the runner heading back to first and stepping on the base at second before the runner going to third makes it back. It has been done once, George Burns of the Red Sox in 1923.
14:41 I never noticed until right now that the second baseman pretending to field the ball and that is what threw off the first baseman. It makes so much more sense now.
Apparently, having a ball bobbled and then caught either by the same player or another is VERY rare. Among the rarest plays in baseball history. SO rare, in fact, that this video includes a whole bunch of them!

I reckon a review of a number of double plays thrown to 1st base is needed. I feel a few of them gave any benefit of the doubt to the 1st baseman when it looked the runner clearly was safe!!!
13:13 It always amazes me how few announcers and players do not understand this rule. Lead runner owns the base but the trail runner cannot be tagged out if the lead runner is not occupying the base. When the trail runner was tagged the lead runner was not on the base. Only one out. The fielder at least did react correctly, tagging the trail runner first. Just doesn't count if the lead runner is not in contact with the base.
Correct. The trailing runner had reached third base safely and he was the only runner occupying the bag when the tag was applied so he was not out. IF the lead runner was also occupying third, the trailing runner could be tagged out (UNLESS the trailing runner was forced to advance in which case it is the lead runner who could be tagged out, but not the case here).
@@egcgc7125 Because the umpire got it wrong. In his defense, he was blocked. But the trail runner, if he is on the base, is only out if the lead runner is also on base. He wasn't when the trail runner was tagged so he should have been safe. The third baseman did exactly what he is supposed to do, tag the trail runner and then the lead runner as quickly as possible. The trail runner is out and you hope the lead runner is not paying attention and leaves the base. You then tag him again.
@@egcgc7125 Not immediately. When there is no force (as there wasn't here) the lead runner owns the base until he safely occupies the next base. So if both runners were on the base and the fielder tagged them both, the trail runner is out and the lead runner is safe. The reason the fielder will (should) always tag both runners is hoping the lead runner forgets the rule and is confused by the umpire calling someone out and then leaves the base. It happens far too often in this level of play. After he leaves the base he can be tagged out.
A few years ago. The white sox did the same thing at first base during playoffs( vs Astros) and they said the runner had established a path to the base. In the white sox game the runner was 3 feet into the field vs where Tucker was. This should not have been called.
Those were the most bestest and most craziest plays ive seen from the most funnest game ever played in the most beautifulest parks in the most bestest cities in America.
I love old plays... I remember one where Bob Knepper was going the wrong way to throw the ball on a squib, so he threw it to Denny Walling (3B) who threw it to first. The problem is that those old videos are grainy as hell. I like seeing a few thrown in there but a whole video of low fi would hurt my eyes.
13:07 The trail runner should have been safe there. If both were touching the base at the time of the tag, the trail runner is out by rule. But when the tag was made, the lead runner had already come off the bag. He was correctly called out when he was tagged off the bag.
I think I saw one happen. Runners on 1st and 2nd. SS catches a line drive, tags the runner coming off 2nd, then steps on 2nd base to get the runner out from 1st. Sound right?
I would retitle this to something else. A "rare" play in baseball is something like an unassisted triple play, a perfect game, or an immaculate inning.
11:52 if you pause it, you can see the base runner's foot on the bag while the ball is a whole 2-3 ft from the glove, ouch. He was actually almost a full stride past the bag once the ball went into the glove.
0:23 An argument can be made for obstruction here. The pitcher blocked access to 1st base before having the ball. The runner might've been safe if not for the pitcher getting in his way.
No, the fielder has the right of way when attempting to field the ball. From the official rules: Rule 6.01(a)(10) Comment: When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called. “Obstruction” by a fielder attempting to field a ball should be called only in very flagrant and violent cases because the rules give him the right of way, but of course such “right of way” is not a license to, for example, intentionally trip a runner even though fielding the ball. If the catcher is fielding the ball and any fielder, including the pitcher, obstructs a runner going to first base, “obstruction” shall be called and the base runner awarded first base.
Creo que si hay corredor en tercera, menos de dos outs, y sale un fly en zona de foul, si está muy lejos del plato, debe dejarse caer. Es muy riesgoso.
Wow! I have never seen anything so RARE as losing a fly ball in the sun! This is CRAZY RARE stuff! A juggling catch at the wall! Rarer than ANYTHING! Not to mention how baseball HISTORY seems to go back about 10 years! This is really great stuff! WOW!
The things that professional athletes can do with their bodies is amazing. It always shows me just how much more athletic they are than the rest of us.
@@ratdad48 its mostly because baseball is one of those sports where for whatever reason people in the big leagues genuinely give up on the play before it is over it happens multiple times a game every game and coaches literally do not really care about it i.e giving up running to first before the ball has reached, flyballs being dropped cause nobody took the time to call it theirs or nobody trying to catch it off a ricochet etc, I'm not saying baseball doesn't have people who try hard or anything along those lines it's just that you see an unprecedented level of it compared to other sports like Football, Soccer, Rugby, Lacrosse, Basketball, Hockey etc.
So very true. I played some baseball and seen great plays with my own eyes on the field and even playing with the neighborhood boys.. Making good plays should be routine for a pro player.
00:56,..... That ball hit the ground,... Pause it and go one frame at a time (Pause the video, .. then press the period . to go forward, and the comma , to go back one frame at a time). And see it hit the ground in just one frame then the forward motion of the glove scooped it up right after...

Is there a rule for when a player bobbles the ball before catching a fly ball while a runner is tagging up? Seems harder for runner to advance in this case...

Yeah. I love baseball but mainly because I played it as a kid. Organized or sand lot, it was a blast. I watch it mainly because in between plays or even pitches not only can I plot strategy but I get to remember some good times.
Just so that everyone knows, if something is the rarest or among the rarest, it doesn't require an amplifier. Hence, the "Most Rarerest Plays in Baseball History" is grammatically incorrect. It should read, "The Rarest Plays in Baseball History". I guess whoever manages the Top All Sports channel needs to renew their subscription to Grammarly.
Can somebody with better video controls please go to 3:08 and tell me that didn’t hit the foul line. Was the call that his glove was between the ball end the foul line when the ball bounced?
0:55 looked cool but it was not a catch and actually exposed an issue with the current review system because they weren't able to overturn it as it was unreviewable.
That second out, should have been obstruction correct? You can't block the base until you have the ball iirc. 7:52 should be out as well, that's well outside his base path.
@@carterwake2614 Hm. He's got 3 feet when the tag starts, and that happens to be the width of the running lane lines (iirc) so that looks way more than that.
Second out the fielder was in the act of fielding the ball and thus is allowed to block the plate if it necessitates it so no, not obstruction as far as I recall.
Just started this video and all I have to say is Kerry woods 20 strike out game to tie the record better be on here. Yes I’m a cubs fan but he did that shit on his rookie debut. I’d feel the same even if I were to be a fan of the red birds
15:47 Why didn't they run the pitcher for doctoring the ball that stuck to Molina's chest protector? No way that ball sticks unless it's got a ton of pine tar on it. You can even see a dark spot on the ball.

15:47 Why didn't they run the pitcher for doctoring the ball that stuck to Molina's chest protector? No way that ball sticks unless it's got a ton of pine tar on it. You can even see a dark spot on the ball.
14:15 Didn’t that pitch glance off the batter’s helmet and into the catcher’s glove?
No
@16:00 Might be using a bit too much spider tac there lol 😄
Merci for this.
Some of thhese I want to call "better lucky than good" plays.
