I've had one, but it wasn't any defensive artistry or anything. In fact, I don't remember clearly the first two outs of the play now, even though it was just a year ago.

I forget it mostly because of the stupidity of the last out: a runnner that had made it to 2B was just walking around near the bag, and was then tagged out for the 3rd out. As I heard him tell it - and this may have been cover to save face - he thought there were already 3 out, so .....

Certainly not one of those 5-4-3 triple plays or something like that.
