Number of times that has actually happened in a major league game?
To: SoFloFreeper
The next time it happens will be the first time.

I’ll take a guess: the pitcher and the catcher.

BONUS--Which fielder(s) get credited with the 3 outs? You wanna take a crack at this one?
To: ReaganÃœberAlles
I would give the put outs to God. For all those things to happen on one play, it must be classified as an act of God.

LOL!! You are BAD!! I think nifty has left the building, (ducking in shame I suppose), for his crimes regarding the botching of one of the LONGSTANDING and BASIC rules of MLB!

The defensive player closest to the play gets credited for all three outs though he never touched the ball. closest to which play? the third and final play?

In the scenario I layed out it would be the closest to second base.

None that anyone has ever heard of. It may have happened in the minors or in a college game. That’s the rumor

In the case I laid out it would most likely be the second baseman or the shortstop.

Short stop for not cluing last out player to look up being that he is the player who probably would be closest to where I am assuming the ball is falling by your discription. Second baseman is going to stick to his position.
Makes the most sense to me.
I’m not to proud to stick my neck out and get it chopped.

Triple Play without defense touching the ball.........
Since the pitcher (defensive player) had to make a pitch to homeplate in order for the pop-up to occur, the entire premise of your absurd scenario is invalid.
To: hole_n_one
The ball is not in play until the batter puts it in play dumbass.

The ball is not in play until the batter puts it in play dumbass.Rule 5.02.....
5.02 After the umpire calls Play the ball is alive and in play and remains alive and in play until for legal cause, or at the umpires call of Time suspending play, the ball becomes dead. While the ball is dead no player may be put out, no bases may be run and no runs may be scored, except that runners may advance one or more bases as the result of acts which occurred while the ball was alive (such as, but not limited to a balk, an overthrow, interference, or a home run or other fair ball hit out of the playing field).
