MLB Stealing Home Plate Compilation 

This video doesn't show the 1000 times it didn't work.

Scy 60% of the time it works every time.

Donte H, no, 80% of the time it works half of the time.

@@Tuning_Spork it's a line from anchorman lol

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.

Upton came in like a bullet.

Thankyou Captain Obvious!

Film study of pitcher s deliveries

@@darthmaul3525 I believe at one point he was the fastest player in MLB.Obviously that was before Billy Hamilton came up.

And Ty Cobb pulled it off successfully 54 times! No one else in baseball history is within 20 of him!

Never looked back, he knew he made it. Pretty badass.

one of if not the best stolen homes ever.

His was my favorite reaction.

He wants to make everyone green with envy.

@@Mark-lq9ir That's a good one. I like it.

Ikr

no fan fair ... good sportsmanship ...

Like a boss.

It’s just another day at the office for him

Bro that dude came in so hot lol

Boss!

Its easy

*play it cool play it cool play it cool play it cool*

Alexandra 😂

Ran so fast he almost set the ground on fire

IMO, they ought to be ready for it every pitch.

Pickle

I agree, these are some of the rarest. Jacoby stealing Home on Andy Petit is my Favorite though!

Vlad McBuxton haha yeah and the yogi one near the end was totally worth the wait

@@redbug3485 I was there and I called it beforehand. Me and Stu (who got us free box-seats). @cappy714

same

I know that's awesome!

*hearing 😎✌

dont they have a rule in little league where you cant be off the base until the ball passes home plate

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

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!

@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. So each pitch, I would jump off the based further and further, until I just took off running home. . .As you can see, this moment stuck with me..😂😂

A walk off stolen base

Almost as good as Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez

And a backup catcher, to boot!

Lol

voice crack

Jar Jar Binks

Jerry Seinfeld.

Kevin Wilson 😂😂😂😂😂

Kevin Wilson He could've been wearing polka dots -- they were fucking clueless. Was that Dusty's Reds and Homer Bailey? If so, I'm not surprised. You or I could have stolen home against them, Kevin. Outwitting that Reds' team was child's play. Give Dusty a 'can't-miss' roster and he would take you to the mountain top, but never into the Promised Land.

@@redbug3485 WTF are you talking about????? Where do you get the idea that a runner can't steal home once the pitcher has the ball? That is totally wrong. The ball is live and runners may advance at any time. You are making stuff up.

@@redbug3485 BS, runners may attempt to advance anytime the ball is live. Post a reference to back up your statement.

@@alanhess9306----- It costs too much to to talk about rules that are set with an umpires decision on when a ball is live or dead. Every play a ball is dead and alive and dead again.

Is he trying to throw off the pitcher?

Moose N That’s what I’m guessing, I never seen someone try to distract a pitcher 😂

Savage Brick Sports can u do a video Called nfl game breaks

Savage Brick Sports Can you do NBA players who got injured after getting their ankles broken.

sure did

Savage Brick Sports hey man can u do the bengals history plz

How about a vid of runners getting thrown out trying to steal home?

A walkoff steal of home by a backup catcher, no less.

Catcher: "Wait, what are you doing? Why are you charging at me? Where did you even come from?"

Good eye...but minimum wage was probably $ 2.85 an hr back then...

@@larrydeleau4664 still, you could get drunk on one hour of work. Now days min wage is $10 and so is beer

Meltman..very true

Ha

Meltman1000 lol $10 minimum wage :(

“Remember kid, there’s heroes and there’s legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.. Follow your heart kid and you’ll never go wrong..”

Even though he’s lost a step or two

East coast bias since The Jet was a Dodger.

The Jets stole home!!!! The Jets stole home!!!!

@@galnhus56 Oh please

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.

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!!

Hey everyone, Phil Collins is in the house!

@@mlbvintagecardcollector505 I know what you did. I saw it with my own two eyes.

It was the World Series. They’ve always been more lenient about ejections

How?

​@@Magnus_Inno uncaught third strike rule

@@joustwave6541 ohhhh

Yep, that was in his last year with the Giants so 41

Cody S. Me too. I live 5 min from the Trop but I prefer to watch it on TV.

@@NB-ky5ol - Aw, man. I would go watch a couple at least. You can't beat the atmosphere of a live baseball game. Unless it is like the last game we just played against the White Sox. That would have been misery.

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.

Right?!!

@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).

@@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.

@@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.

His competition sucked

.....AND 4,191 hits.

And that he was one of the dirtiest men who played the game!

That’s when players cared for more than just the money. 👍🏻

So was Jackie safe?

@@colleenross8752 He was called safe which is why Yogi (the catcher) went crazy. He thought he tagged him out.

Steven Turner I would patiently wait on third base for semi-regular passed ball. Only then, take off!!!

stealing a base after a walk, worked every single time in little leauge lol

LOL I did try. I wasn't real fast so it wasn't expected. The catcher lobbed a moon shot back the pitcher and I went. The ump had his back turned and missed the play at home - called me out. The catcher was a buddy. Said I was easily safe.

triple plays are pretty bad ass. and we cant forget bases loaded for the grand slam

I know because I wore them back in the '60s and the '70s. I am older than dirt (68 1/2).

@@JohnCapizolaSr714 John, you're a spry young man with great memories and experience

Wait till tamarrah!

Yes, but the announcer had it backwards. Actually, the Dodgers won. Very strange!

Yup

Great description, bravo!

The shame of it all is the $135m the Yanks paid for that 1 steal as it seems like the only highlight of his Yankees career!

And that is coming from a Yankees' fan.

That is the ONLY recorded video of Jacoby Ellsbury in a Yankee uniform....135 MILLION for ONE steal of home! He stole home AND the money!!!

I was there for the one in NY, when he played for the Yankees. Actually, I could have been in Boston, I love the city, not the team.

Adam Moreira theres a video idea, stealing every base in one go

Kevin Pillar did so as well at the beginning of this season...against Dellin Betances. He stole second and third without a throw, and then stole home. The lead he got against Betances...a RIGHTY, pitching from the stretch, was ridiculous.

Pop up slide

TY YT imagine how it was for the red sox fans when he imediatly signed with the yankees after winning a world series with them and then playing against him

bakugo it's not that weird now. I'm actually quite happy that the Yankees are paying more than $20m a year for a backup outfielder

counterfit5 Lol true

He was beyond out

KayKwasa It's the fatal flaw of the southpaw...

Your Fabulous Happy Mann except for Jon Lester. His fatal flaw is throwing to first.

It's called a TEAM for a reason! What do you think the job of the third baseman is or the catcher in this case. Add to it, the base runner at third didn't get there by magic.

Aaand if they do 'go the extra mile' as you put it, and lose the gamble, they've just given up a run 90 feet away.

Tristan MacLeod Well I KNOW it was Yogi because A. They literally said Yogi in the video B. It’s clearly Yogi Berras face when they show him take off the mask C. There’s been a hundred interviews with Yogi about this incident D. At the time of game 1 of the 1955 World Series Bill Dickey had been retired for 9 years

I wondered about that, too. However, watching the video, hard to tell if Yogi stepped on home plate before catching the ball. That would be a balk. If the batter had swung, or simply tried to bunt, interference would have been an easy call. Most of these vids show the catcher waiting to catch the ball. Yogi clearly could've caused a balk or interference.

If I️ ever go into the major league I️ will beat it because in little league I️ have like 39 steals at home

Ty Cobb stole home 54 times.

But that "steal" of home in the World Series was a gift. He was OUT from here to there!

Max Carey has the National League record of 33 steals of home (NY Times, April 16, 1989)

Fun fact he also struck out to end WS gm 7 in 1956 to end his career! So sad

He signed with the Yankees as a free agent

Ellande Campbell Lol the trader

Mr Fragels free agent

Mr Fragels yeah lol

Luckily he sucks with the yanks

Bj is such an unfortunate name (Side thought: If you make a acronym of blue jays, would it be bjs? I encourage everyone to now call the blue jays the bjs)

vicnice #OVOsquad it was a foul tip therefore you can run to first base making it there is very unlikely that's why they run slow

Savage Brick Sports haha

Fun fact: the Jays' mascot used to be BJ Birdie. About ten or so years ago, though, it got changed to Ace.

@@II-rb6bv the batter cannot run to first on a foul tip.....EVER. But I'm not sure of what it is you are trying to say.
