How about the “Odd Couple”.  Maz hits into a triple play

Not sure if you ever heard the story.  It was supposed to be Roberto Clemente hitting into the TP. The scene was filmed prior to a real game. The history is cloudy - one story is that Clemente, irate that he would be paid just $100 to do something offensive to him (be so slow to first to even allow three outs), told the director where to put it.  The second story is that Clemente did indeed participate, but because he was running slower and slower to allow the throw to beat him, it looked ridiculous and the slower-footed Mazeroski took his place at the plate.
