MLB Stealing Home Plate Compilation

[@heartlandmodding2315]

Stealing home is one of the most aggressive and exciting plays in baseball. You either have to catch the defense napping, hope for a bad throw, or just flat burn down the baseline in order for it to work. That's why it's not tried more often. Plus you better be sure Bc if it doesn't work you have lost a possible run sitting 90 ft away.

No, it is probably easier than stealing second. There is no need to beat the throw of the catcher. You have to time the break for the home plate and hope the catcher isn't perfect.

[@ShadowWolverine]

Yes. In little league you would have to steal on the catcher’s return throw before the pitcher gets back on the rubber.

[@ChrisP_Kreme]

Rules must be different in different areas. The rec league I played for as a kid, the smaller kids weren't allowed to steal, but as soon as my age group was allowed to steal we were allowed to lead off. Never saw anybody try to steal home though that mustve been insane lol

As time went on, you probably realized that for all the parents at a little league game in overtime, you _were_ the man!

[@skip6978]

@asdasf8817 I'm late as hell, but that was the rule. But the pitcher would catch the ball from the catcher and look down as he walked back to the mound.

[@davidkibler5456]

Thank you for including Glenn Brummer at 2:20. A classic Cardinals memory.

[@OldRustySteele]

Yeah, and 3 things are particularly notable about this one. First, it was a walkoff steal of home, since it was in the bottom of the 12th inning at Busch Stadium. Second, Brummer was the Cards backup catcher (Darrell Porter was their first string catcher). Catchers are probably the least likely to steal, since most are not fast runners. This play was truly the "Element of Surprise". Third, this occurred on August 12, 1982, in the thick of a pennant race between the Cards and the Phillies, so every win was crucial at the time. Some people think this was the play that catalyzed the Cards winning the NL East that year.

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

I remember listening to this game on the radio and hearing the great Mike Shannon call it. So exciting- and Glenn Brummer, of all people. Talk about unexpected!!

[@AEMoreira81]

In 1972, however, he had a game-winning steal of home. I believe that was also the year he won the batting title with no home runs. He was Tony Gwynn before Gwynn debuted, only that Gwynn was harder to strike out than anyone whose career began after 1945.

[@danaeiland5054]

Right?!!

[@Ize19]

@Daryl Leckt It would be if it was the record. Ty Cobb stole home 8 times in 1915, 54 times in his career, and a 55th time in the 1909 World Series. Still, this doesn't take anything away from Carew, who is the only player in the last 40 years to steal home at least 10 times (he had 17).

[@mlbvintagecardcollector505]

@@Ize19 Cobb played against a bunch of screw ball pitchers with long windups. The game was not managed with a fine tooth analytic comb the way it's done today. I'm not very impressed with records from the dead ball era. I think they cannot be referenced by todays standards. The Carew season was amazing. Also, I am really surprised Rickey Henderson didn't do this more often. I guess having Canseco, Mcgwire, Winfield and Mattingly following up in the lineup, he didn't have too would be my guess.

[@Ize19]

@@mlbvintagecardcollector505 I did say it doesn't take anything from Carew. Yes, the game was played differently, but there was certainly still a ton of analyzing going on with regards to the game, especially when Cobb was in his baserunning prime. They were still playing professional baseball at the highest level that existed at the time, it was still the NL&AL, the records are still in the book. Baseball has an incredible history, it's a tremendous mistake to dismiss a huge chunk of it because it took place an arbitrary number of years ago.
