Unassisted Triple Play
Asdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in Major League history. But this is really more of a luck thing than some sort of phenomenal skill. Hit and run with 2 on and 0 outs, line drive up the middle, tag 2nd, tag the runner, and there's your unassisted triple play. Hell, John Valentin has one so how hard could they be.
Then again, according to The Baseball Almanac, in 1923 Red Sox first baseman George Burns "Caught liner. Tagged man off 1st. Tag 2nd before man returned." Pretty impressive, especially while holding his cigar at the same time. If anyone gets that reference, let me know.
