3. Cards down by one run. Bottom of the 9th, in 67 or 68, against the Reds. Cards have the bases loaded, nobody out, and the batter hits a made to order double play grounder. Oh well, at least Orlando Cepeda will score the tying run from 3rd, right? Wrong. Cepeda lolly gags it home and gets thrown out at the plate on a peg from the 1st sacker, completing the triple play, and ending the game in the Red’s favor.
I checked Retrosheet to try and find this game. Didn’t see it in either ’67 or ’68 but I guess it’s possible I missed it.
