"With runners on first and second and a full count on Shane Spencer in the sixth inning, Yankees manager Joe Torre sent the runners in motion, and Spencer hit a line drive to Velarde's right. 'He made his mark today on a losing team,' Torre said. 'It was good managing. Start the runners and get something exciting to happen.' That it did. Velarde caught the ball, tagged out Jorge Posada running from first base and stepped on second to complete the play on Tino Martinez, who had headed toward third. 'I had it played perfectly,' Velarde said. 'Both guys took off, it was a soft liner. I caught it. Tag, tag, that's it.'" - Associated Press Wire (05/29/2000, Velarde turns unassisted triple play)
