Binta Robinson is an attorney (Active Member of the DC Bar) located in Washington, DC. When she is not practicing law, Binta Robinson enjoys supporting Washington Nationals baseball. The Washington Nationals recently made baseball history, turning Major League Baseball’s (MLB) first ever 3-5-5 triple play and the franchise’s first triple play in any fashion. The play occurred in the bottom of the eighth inning, with the Nationals up 4-1 over the San Francisco Giants on the Giants’ home field. The three run lead began to look tenuous as the Giants loaded the bases with no outs. What followed will not soon be forgotten by Nationals fans and baseball enthusiasts the world over. Batting for the Giants, Brandon Crawford hit a sharp line drive to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who had taken the field immediately before Crawford’s at bat for defensive purposes. Zimmerman made good on that call, catching the line drive for one out and immediately tagging first base, denoted by the number three on baseball’s positional numbering system. With two outs suddenly on the board, Zimmerman scanned the field and quickly saw that San Francisco’s Denard Span had not turned back to third base. Zimmerman made a casual toss across the diamond to third, denoted by the number five, for the easy out, ending the historic play. The Nationals went on to win the game. Comments are closed.
