Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Also in Sunday's Braves game, John Smoltz hit his first triple since 1989 and just the second of his career. As far as I can tell, that's the longest break between triples in major-league history.
Here are the gaps of at least ten years between triples:
