What was the only time that managers stole home on the same day?

jzmet · 12-12-2003, 03:28 PM

seems like Casey Stengel would be in on this one

KCBOOMER · 12-12-2003, 03:32 PM

I am sure Casey stole home some time in his career, but he never stole a base as a manager, let alone home.

Skip · 12-12-2003, 03:34 PM

In that case, Sweet Lou simply must be involved - though I do not recall him stealing home.

KCBOOMER · 12-12-2003, 03:37 PM

No, Sweet Lou, is not involved. Before we go off on a tangent the question refers to the baseball act of advancing to another base on a pitch under threat of being put out.

I'll take a wild swing and say Bucky Harris was one of the pilferers.

Another wild guess - Lou Boudreau

I misunderstood--thought you meant players who were to become managers stole home on the same day

gyb13 · 12-12-2003, 08:28 PM

was ty involved?

tyruschen · 12-12-2003, 11:11 PM

If the question is "Who's the manager stole home most times?" then the answer absolutely is George Peach (he did it four times)... but I think it's not what KCBOOMER means.

YankeeLinks · 12-13-2003, 12:00 AM

While I don't know the answer, I think I understand the question.

Boomer tells us that on a given day, two different managers (presumably playing managers) stole home. He wants us to tell him when that happened.

Boomer, correct me if I'm wrong.

gyb13 · 12-13-2003, 02:00 AM

that's how i understand it too

gyb13 · 12-13-2003, 02:12 AM

was it 9/26/26?

No.

To clear up any questions about these two guys I want to make it clear they were the managers of their teams on the day they stole home.

4/28/1906

Frank Chance of the Cubs stole home for the only run in a 1-0 win over the Redsl Fred Clarke of the Pirates also stole home that day in the Bucs 10-1 win over the Cardinals.
