What’s the definition of a triple in baseball?
In baseball, a triple is a hit in which the batter advances to third base in one play, with neither the benefit of a fielding error nor another runner being put out on a fielder’s choice. Triples were more common in baseball’s dead-ball era, when teams relied more on stolen bases and hit and run plays than on the home run.
