Now if you want rare. There have only been 14 or 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB history.

Also, only 15x a player has hit four home runs in a game.

By comparision, they both are probably the rarest occurence in MLB history.

The rarest, in my opinion, is the back-to-back shut-outs or perfect games by the same starting pitcher. The name slips my mind right now but I lost a $500 wager on it years ago, looked it up and stored it away for future use. Give me some time and I'll come up with the name (I think ).
