 As houxt!klein said, Ron Hansen of the Senators pulled off an unassisted
triple play. I believe the year was 1968, and I'm pretty sure that this
was the last unassisted triple play pulled off. As an interest of note,
Hansen also hit a grand slam in the same week, and then was traded within
days to the Chicago White Sox. You see, us Senators fans were used to a
certain level of mediocraty in our ball-players, and the management realized
that they couldn't have any one player looking too good, or we might get 
spoiled.
