2017 â Short of infielders because of injuries, the Mets start catcher Travis dâArnaud at third base in their game against the Yankees. However, as dâArnaud has never played the position professionally, manager Terry Collinsdecides to switch him and starting second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera every time a right-handed batter comes up, in order to minimize the chance of a ball actually being hit towards the improvized infielder. The two end up exchanging positions 18 times as the Yankees prevail, 5 â 3, making for an unusual boxscore that reads âCabrera 2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2bâ and âdâArnaud 3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3b-2b-3bâ.
