J.T. and the Hidden Ball Trick

You may have seen this on Retrosheet lately...

Did J.T. Snow really pull it off only once? I thought that was almost a calling card of his. There have to be more occurences... anyone remember specifics?

Strange Ozzie Guillen being a victim 3 times and then later becomes a manager of a World Series team.

Re: J.T. and the Hidden Ball Trick

Ozzie Guillen got caught twice in less then a month and half! The other one I like is Vada Pinson getting caught on his Birthday!
I still can't figure out how a triple play could occur on it? Was the tail end of a double play?

Re: J.T. and the Hidden Ball Trick

SFGate's game recap from 1999 identifies the one mentioned by retrosheet as Snow's first successful hidden ball play; it says that earlier that season he tried it against the Astros but Tavarez went to the mound and got called for a balk.
