    There have been 676 triple plays turned in major league Baseball, many more than other Baseball rarities such as no-hitters (257) and batters hitting for the cycle (284)

    Before everybody starts belittling you PAP, here is an article about the latest triple play

    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 ).
