It's been a long, looong time since John Valentin was whining about Nomar usurping his starting shortstop spot and was shifted to third base and anonymity. But the Redsox complete a triple play and who is the first name discussed, John freaking Valentin. From the Herald:
“It was a bunt situation,” Valentin said. “(Mariners manager) Lou Piniella put on the bunt and (Newfield) fouled it off. Then he put on the hit and run and the next pitch was a line drive right at my shoetops. I caught it, touched the base, and touched Keith Mitchell running from first, and that was it.
“Right place at the right time. If you’re going to turn a triple play, you’ve got to be a little bit on the lucky side. It was pretty exciting time.”
