Just noticed that Johnny Damon stole second base right before Mark Teixeira struck out to end Game 5 of the World Series. EXCEPT, Johnny Damon didn’t actually steal second base. Oh, he ran there, all right, and from first base. So why didn’t he get a stolen base? Because of defensive indifference.
Yep, because no one cared that Damon was stealing the base, he doesn’t get credit for stealing the base. How awesome is that? I love you, baseball.
Anyway, that’s always been my favorite play (or non-play) in the whole entire world, I just never made it official by putting it on the interweb. So here it is.
