Todd Frazier Had A Historic Yankee Stadium Debut

Todd Frazier has played at Yankee Stadium before, but last night was his home debut in pinstripes.

In the bottom of the 2nd inning, the perfect scene was set - bases loaded, nobody out, Frank Sinatra playing as the kid from Toms River strides to the plate at Yankee Stadium.

Then this happened:

Oh dang!

The run still scored for the Yanks, but Frazier doesn't get credit for the RBI because he technically grounded into a double play. It's the 10th time a run has scored on a triple play, according to SABR's Triple Play Database, and the first in 11 years.

After the game, Frazier said

I think I set a record for first-ever batter with the Yankees to hit into a triple play. It's funny to laugh about it now, but at the time I was a little upset. Brett Gardner was laughing at me. I think somebody asked for the ball so they could have it. It was just unbelievable. You get into a hitter's count and away it goes. We got a run in, which helped, but at the same time, hopefully that doesn't ever happen again."
