Repack Haiku #381 (John Valentin)

First batter after
Unassisted triple play
Hit home run of course
 
1998 Pacific #48 John Valentin

 
On July 8, 1994 in a game against the Mariners, Valentin became the 10th player in Major League history to record an unassisted triple play. He then led off the bottom half of the inning and started a 4-run rally with a home run over the Green Monster.

Here's the video clip so you can see it in all it's beauty:

 
Fun Fact: This game was also the Major League debut of Alex Rodriguez!
