Has a major league baseball player ever made three outs in one inning?
No, not a batter. Pitchers have struck out the side, and there have been unassisted triple plays though
Did glenn wrights unassisted triple play on May 7 1925 end the game?
No. Glenn Wright was playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates at the time, who were at home to the St Louis Cardinals. St Louis were leading 10-9 when Wright's unassisted triple play ended their inning, but because the Pirates were trailing they had to play out the bottom of the ninth. 10-9 ended up being the final score. Only two of the fifteen unassisted triple plays in the MLB have ended the game: Johnny Neun of the Detroit Tigers, who beat the Cleveland Indians 1-0 on May 31, 1927, and Eric Bruntlett of the Philadelphia Phillies, who beat the New York Mets 9-7 on August 23, 2009.
Why is the pitcher considered the most important defensive player on the team in baseball?
The pitcher in baseball at all levels of the game is vital to the defensive of the team. This holds true for youth baseball, college and professional baseball as well. Generally speaking the pitcher is the most important defensive player because he is involved with every single play in the inning pitched. The same is true for the team catcher, however, the pitcher must throw his pitch in a manner that prevents a batter from getting on base. If a pitcher cannot make most batters draw a strike or have the batter hit the ball to one of his teammates then the defense is in trouble.
What cardinal hit for the cycle in the 2005 season?
Mark Grudzielanek on April 27, 2005 against the Brewers. He hit a home run in the 1st inning, a single in the 2nd inning, a double in the 4th inning, and a triple in the 6th inning.
Who was the last baseball player to play all 9 positions in the same game?
Players who have played all 9 positions in a 9 inning game: Bert Campaneris for the Kansas City Athletics (they moved to Oakland in 1968) on 9-8-1965--Cesar Tovar for Minnesota on 9-22-1968--Scott Sheldon for Texas on 9-6-2000 and Shane Halter for Detroit on 10-1-2000. == ==
