2016 – Fans attending a Cactus League game between the White Sox and Royals at Camelback Ranch are treated to two rare occurrences, and both involve Sox LF Jason Coats. In the 5th inning, Kansas City’s Tony Cruz lines a ball to Coats, who catches it and throws to SS Jimmy Rollins to double off Reymond Fuentes for the second out; Rollins in turn relays to 1B Mike Olt before Dusty Coleman can return to the bag for a rare 7-6-3 triple play. Then, in the 7th, Drew Butera hits a line drive to left, but this time, the ball tips off Coats’s glove and the play ends as an inside-the-park homer.
