Highlight
- While playing in the Pacific Coast League for the Vernon Tigers, Carlisle executed an unassisted triple play against Los Angeles Angels. With the score tied at 3–3 in the sixth inning, and runners on first and second bases, Carlisle made a diving catch of a short fly batted by Roy Akin; stepped on second to retire Charlie Moore, and tagged George Metzger coming from first. The Tigers won the game, 5–4. With his heroic feat, Carlisle entered the records books as the only outfielder ever to make an unassisted triple play in organized baseball (July 19, 1911). Curiously, in the following season Akin pulled off his own unassisted triple play, albeit as an infielder.
