What is the most number of MLB players on one team involved with one out? In other words. has there ever been a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 type out recored in MLB history?

• Thanks for the answer. Any more details of the incident? Teams involved, statium, date, etc.?
  
  Also, I am interested in plays involving the maximum total number of different players, not the number of "touches" by the same players. I suspect run downs of baserunners would greatly increase the number of "touches", but I am more interested in plays involving the maximum percentage of the nine playes on the field involved in the same play.

• On that incident, the only thing i can remember is it was during the CWS about 3 years ago during the regionals. And for the most players involved, if there was only one runner on, and there was a run down on that runner between 3rd and home, then I would assume as many players as possible would get involved. I have actually seen this occur, but it was at a high school level. Every fielder was involved in the play. The catcher, 1st baseman, 2nd baseman, and right fielder headed for home plate, and the SS, 3rd baseman, left fielder, and center fielder headed toward 3rd base. The pitcher was the player with the ball. The play was a ground ball to the pitcher to his left, so he picked it up and tagged the batter, then ran toward the runner on 3rd base and got him in a rundown. It was a very long and interesting play.
