NEUN, John Henry (1900-1990) was a first baseman for the Detroit Tigers and Boston Braves from 1925 to 1931. He entered baseball immortality on May 31, 1927, when he caught a line drive from Homer Summa, stepped on first to retire Charlie Jamison, and despite shouts from his shortstop to throw him the ball, raced towards second base to retire Glenn Myatt, completing only the 7th unassisted triple play in MLB history. Facsimile copy of the box score from that baseball game, signed at bottom "John H. Green Aug. 13 '89." VG.
