You Can't Make This Stuff Up, I Swear

Without regard to individual players, two of the rarest sights in baseball today are the inside-the-park home run and the unassisted triple play. What are the odds of seeing both in the *same game*?

Even stranger, the New York Mets *started* their at-bats in today's game with the former... and *ended* them by being victims of the latter. Phillies win 9-7.

If you wrote a piece of baseball fiction and included that, no one would believe you.
