The definition of “serendipity” is a fortunate happenstance, and that’s what the Rockies had Wednesday night as they made an awesome double play in the bottom of the first, during a 3-4 loss to the Washington Nationals Wednesday night.

I bet you every one of those players involved knew what they were doing.
That was sweet - I imagine they practice that. Watching football (Seahawks) and some of the tipped balls for interceptions I thought it was lucky. Until one of them was talking about how they practice for those; one guy tips it to the other guy for the interception.
Much better

It could be said that baseball games are driven by “serendipity” of this sort. That’s what makes it wonderful.
I love a good Double Play
The Rockies needed a good come back after allowing three runs to score on a passed ball last week, :)
I thought he was safe at home.
{yawn} Looks like a routine double play that the Mariners make all the time.
Thanks. That is amazing. Fluid. Not your everyday double play. Has to be top 5 all time, quite possibly #1.
Talent more than luck.
A work of art, for certain, but, “Lemahieu to Tolowitzki to Morneau” will never have the melodic ring of “Tinker to Evers to Chance.”
Baseball is all anyone needs to know about life, for the most part.
