Brandon Crawford, July 29, 2016 vs. the Washington Nationals. Buster Posey on first base, Denard Span on third base, no outs. Crawford hits a line drive to the Nationals' first baseman, Ryan Zimmerman. Zimmerman catches the line drive (out #1), steps on first base to double off Posey (out #2) and throws to Anthony Rendon at third base to double off Span (Out #3). It's the first triple play on this YouTube video:
