Before Sunday, it had been 130 years since anyone turned a similar type of bizarre triple play that the Los Angeles Dodgers turned against the San Diego Padres in the ninth inning of a 5-4 win . With the logistics involved, it'll probably take another 130 years for anyone to do it again. For those keeping score at home, that's a 2-5-6-3 triple play that went around all four bases, the first 2-5-6-3 play in recorded big league history. According to this list compiled by SABR , three instances of a 2-5- 4 -3 triple play — swapping out the shortstop for the second baseman — occurred in the 19th century. The last major league 2-5-4-3 triple play occurred in a Sept. 13, 1882, game between the Cincinnati Red Stockings and Louisville Colonels.
