Obviously, incredibly rare as you indicate. That said, Willie Davis of the Dodgers pulled virtually the same feat in the '66 World Series vs. the Orioles. 3 errors in the same inning by 1 player. I seem to recall that 1 was a throwing error and 2 were actual muffs, but I could be wrong. So I guess it wasn't exactly the same but very close now that I think about it.The Dodgers, who were arguably the top fielding team in the majors at the time, committed 6 errors total for the game. Sandy Koufax took the "L". I was 15 at the time and it was so unusual I still remember watching it on TV. Here's a link for you; I'm sure there are several...

I have a landmark inning of my own that I believe has never been duplicated. I contacted a couple of baseball historians who told me that what I did has probably been done over the panorama of the millions (billions?) of baseball games that have ever been played, but they personally had never heard of it. So, what I did may in fact be unique!
What I did was throw out 3 runners at the plate in the same inning from center field. If anyone else is aware of someone doing this, I'd like to hear about it.
