How to steal home SEVEN times
Rod Carew.

Thanks, fixed.
Great article. Chris Jaffe had an excerpt from his book about baseball managers at THT that described Billy Martin’s managerial style:
http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/book-excerpt-evaluating-baseballs-managers-billy-martin/
“The ultimate Billyball moment came on May 18 when both Tovar and Carew stole home plate in the same inning—in the same a- bat. Carew stole his way around the bases in that plate appearance. At the plate during this maniacal base running was Harmon Killebrew. Harmon Killebrew! It boggles the mind: With one of the greatest home run hitters of that or any other generation up Martin wanted his men running wild.”
Great article. Thanks for linking it, Tom. I love those baseball stories and especially the ones where the players tell what they were thinking and how they accomplished what they did.
