A’s pull off two triple steals in one game

Famous Thefts

On July 25, 1930 — At Cleveland’s League Park, the A’s pull off two triple steals in one game. The double-triple takes place in the first inning and then again in the fourth as Philadelphia, who pummels the Indians, 14-1.

Al Simmons, Bing Miller, and Dib Williams are the base thieves in the 1st inning, and Mickey Cochrane, Simmons, and Jimmie Foxx steal together in the 4th

 

The a’s will steal only 48 bases this season for the second-lowest total in the league, being six swipes ahead of the Red Sox.
