The story hit the wires and the internet tonight about Indians second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera turning an unassisted triple play, and I immediately thought of my sister.

No, she wasn't a "League of their Own" baseball-playing type in her youth. In fact, I distinctly remember a family outing to a Rangers game when I was a kid and she spent the entire game reading a book.

But book reading is where this story actually begins.

I think it was when the Rangers turned their around-the-horn triple play in 1977. Harrah to Wills to Hargrove. The first triple play in Rangers history... and being such a big Rangers fan, I was pretty excited around the house the next day. So my sister, who's five years older, tried to put me in my place.

"You know there's only been one triple play in World Series history," she says.

"Really?" I say, all wide eyed.

"Yeah, she says," as her brain tries to recall the pages of the "Strange but True Baseball Stories" book that was on our bookshelf at home. "His name was Bill Wamsbuhgasness."

Still sounds interesting to me, but, there's a problem. I don't ever remember hearing about a guy named

Wamsbuhgasness.

I head to my room trying to figure out how I'd missed a guy with such a strange name who'd made such a fantastic play.

Mazeroski. Petrocelli. Grover Cleveland Alexander. I had most of the names down pat.

But not Wamsbuhgasness.

So I dig out my Baseball Encyclopedia and start searching for this bit of history that I'd missed out on.

And as I scan the W's, there is Wamsbuhgasness.

Time to call her bluff.

I race into the den where some of the sports books have a home, and get down the book. I remembered the chapters on Pete Gray and Stan Musial. But who was this Wamsbuhgasness?

And there it was. The chapter on the unassisted triple play in the World Series in 1920.

By a guy named Bill Wambsganns.

A few extra syllables didn't hurt anything.

And more than 30 years later, my sister and I still laugh about Bill Wamsbuhgasness.
