Wow. Wiggington has created 4 of the first 9 outs for us. I wonder what the record is for most outs by a player in a game. Or most double plays hit into by a player. Anyone know?

All I found.

Most outs made by a batter in 3 trips to the plate

( 7 outs: Burliegh Grimes, 1925 )

The job of Dodgers hurler Burleigh Grimes was to get outs--but for the other team, not his own. The batter's box turned into a house of horrors for Grimes during a September 22, 1995 game against the Chicago Cubs. He hit into (2) double plays, then into a triple killing to rack up a total of seven outs in just three at-bats. The frustrated hurler got a fourth shot at the plate later in the game. He made another out...but at least that time he didn't take anybody back to the bench with him. When the Dodgers lost, 3-2, Grimes had nobody to blame but himself.

It wasn't supposed to be a straight steal. You'll notice it was the catcher "stealing."

Ah. I did NOT notice that.

Also, I could have sworn the runner made it to third on the overthrow ... am I losing my mind? I think I might be.
