WATCH: Reds turn triple play on Yankees, Todd Frazier

Todd Frazier's home debut for the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium could have gone better.
Facing the Cincinnati Reds organization that drafted him, he hit into a triple play in the second inning on Tuesday night. 

Another former Red, Didi Gregorious, didn’t help Frazier with his own base running.

The Reds first turned their first recorded triple play when the team was still the Red Stockings, on June 6, 1882 - 62 years before D-Day on the same date. The team turned three that season.

The last time the Reds turned a triple play was in 1995, according to Baseball-Reference.com. The team turned two of them within four days, the first on July 13 against the San Diego Padres and again on July 17 against the Florida Marlins.
