I had a friend ask me this trivia question once, and how there can be 4 recorded outs in an inning. It happens with 1 out, runners on 2nd and 3rd. Batter hits a deep fly ball to right field that is caught for the 2nd out. Both runners try to advance after the catch. Runner on 3rd scores, but the runner on 2nd is thrown out at 3rd after the runner scores, giving you the 3rd out. Then, the 3rd baseman challanges the tag up at 3rd to contest that run, and that runner left the bag early, so they are called out as well, so they are the 4th out as well.
Has this ever happened or is it just a fun trivia question?
