The triple-play Felton mentions happened at the Metrodome on May 29, 1982. Felton started the game for Minnesota and in the top of the second he gave up back-to-back singles to Bobby Murcer and then Graig Nettles. He struck out Roy Smalley and on the same play Nettles was caught trying to steal second and Murcer was caught trying to take third.
Felton owns the distinction of holding the record for most consecutive losses to start a career and most career losses without winning a game.
