| Your crusty editor caught on film (or whatever digital is caught on) the beginning of a triple play hit into by the Nationals’ Cristian Guzman in a May 19 game in Washington against the New York Mets. Centerfielder Angel Pagan, who had hit an inside-the-park home run earlier in the game, made a shoestring catch of Guzman’s short fly while the runners, Livan Hernandez and Nyjer Morgan, advanced to the next base. Pagan flipped to shortstop Jose Reyes but overshot him. Catcher Henry Blanco retrieved the ball and threw to Reyes, standing on second, to double off Hernandez. Reyes then threw to Ike Davis at first to triple off Morgan. The play involved several former Twins—Guzman, Hernandez, and Blanco— as well as Davis, the son of former Twins reliever Ron Davis. |
