Using the event files from Retrosheet1 and SABR's (Society for American Baseball Research) triple play files, a database was built containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2009). In this data set 680 triple plays (TP) were identified ... There were two inter-league triple plays recorded: (1) the 1887 World Series St. Louis Browns (AA) against the Detroit Wolverines (NL); and (2) the 1920 Cleveland Indians (AL) against the Brooklyn Dodgers (NL).
