There have been 15 unassisted triple plays in the history of Major League Baseball, none of them by Yankees players.
No, not a batter. Pitchers have struck out the side, and there have been unassisted triple plays though
There were two unassisted triple plays to end games: * Johnny Neun of the Detroit Tigers on May 31, 1927 * Eric Bruntlett of the Philadelphia Phillies on August 23, 2009
On a hit and run play, runners on first and second, the batter hits a line drive to the second baseman, he makes the catch for the first out tags the first base runner for the second out and steps on second for the third out.
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.
For all triple plays in MBL, the number varies from year to year -- sometimes as few a zero (in 1961 and 1974) and sometimes as many as 19 (in 1890). Since the 1930 season, there have been a total of 314 triple plays in MLB, which averages out to about 3.8 triple plays per season.
According to the Society for American Baseball Research, there have been 13 unassisted triple plays in MLB since 1876, the first being in 1909. That would make the odds of an unassisted triple play about 1 in every 10 years. Interestingly, these things seem to come in groups. Six of the thirteen came in the 1920s. Three of the thirteen have come in the 2000s. And on top of that, there were unassisted triple plays on successive days in 1927. On May 30, 1927 shortstop Jimmy Cooney of the Chicago Cubs turned an unassisted triple play against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The very next day first baseman Johnny Neun of the Detroit Tigers turned an unassisted triple play against the Cleveland Indians.

There have been a few unassisted triple plays in baseball history. Also, 3 strikeouts could qualify under your criteria. I'm sure there have been other 1-2-3 unassisted innings in baseball. How about three fly balls, three pop ups, three ground balls to first. Happens all the time in MLB games.
