Phillies turned a triple play 95 years in the making against the Tigers

On Monday night the Philadelphia Phillies turned one of the rarest triple plays in baseball history

The beauty of baseball — or any sport really — is that when you watch a game you might see something that has not happened in a long time.

For example, fans at Comerica Park Monday night saw something that has not happened in baseball in almost a century.

The Detroit Tigers led off the bottom of the third inning with back-to-back singles off Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola.
