Unassisted triple play (October 6, 1923)
Ernest Kitchen Padgett (March 1, 1899 – April 15, 1957) was an American baseball infielder who played five seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "Red",[1] he played for the Boston Braves and the Cleveland Indians from 1923 to 1927. He batted and threw right-handed. Although he primarily played as a third baseman, Padgett was utilized at shortstop and second base as well.
Padgett played minor league baseball for the Memphis Chicks of the Southern Association until 1922, when he was drafted by the Boston Braves in that year's Rule 5 draft. After making his debut in 1923 and spending three seasons with the Braves, Padgett's contract was purchased by the Cleveland Indians, where he spent the next two years of his career before playing his last game on July 30, 1927. He died on April 15, 1957, in East Orange, New Jersey. Padgett is best known for turning the fourth unassisted triple play in Major League Baseball history on October 6, 1923.[2]
