Has anyone else stolen home (straight steal)?

I've been frustrated with my offense lately, so when I got Brett Gardener to 3rd against Rich Harden (RHP, hold = 4/20) I did a straight steal on the first pitch... and made it. Ahhh psychological victories.

did it just now with jean segura in the WS, it said "but he misses him! He missed teh tag! Segura has stolen home!" so i think it's mostly luck

Is he a 2B in your game? I draft a guy with the same name.

he's in the angel's minor league system in real life

and yes, he's a second baseman

I just did it after hitting the wrong button, I meant to steal second when I had men on the corners but hit steal home by mistake. He made it so it was a pretty good mistake to make.

I guess I got him in trade then, heh.

Nice mis-click hluraven

In real life, a fast guy could steal home more often than you would think. However, it is a pretty big deal if a Manager makes that call in real life and it doesn't go according to plan. In OOTP, no such media repercussions
