In baseball, an unassisted triple play occurs when a defensive player makes all three putouts by himself in one continuous play, without any teammates touching the ball (assist). In Major League Baseball, it is the rarest of individual feats, occurring less frequently than a perfect game or hitting four home runs in one game. Here is a list of every triple play that has ever occurred:
