    Walter Carlisle

    Walter Carlisle from the Chronology

    May 9, 1912 - Roy Akin of Houston‚ who hit the ball that led to Walter Carlisle's remarkable unassisted triple play at Los Angeles the year before‚ turns the tables. Playing 3B against Waco (Texas League)‚ he catches a hit-and-run bunt‚ steps on 3B‚ and then tags the runner coming down from 2B.

    Jul 19, 1911 - With the score tied at 3-3 in the 6th inning‚ Vernon CF (Pacific Coast League)‚ Walter Carlisle executes an unassisted triple play against Los Angeles. With men on 1B and 2B‚ he makes a spectacular diving catch of a short ?y by batter Roy Akin‚ touches 2B‚ and runs to 1B to retire both runners. Vernon wins‚ 5-4‚ with the speedy English-born Carlisle pulling off the only unassisted triple play ever accomplished by an outfielder in O.B.
