Eddie Collins of the Philadelphia Athletics sets a major league record by stealing six bases in a game
On September 11, 1912, future Hall of Famer Eddie Collins of the Philadelphia Athletics sets a major league record by stealing six bases in a game. Each time Collins victimizes Detroit Tigers catcher Brad Kocher, helping Philadelphia to a 9-7 win at Navin Field.
The A’s second baseman, who will swipe six bases again in September 22, will end the season with 66 pilfered bags, second behind Clyde Milan’s league-leading 88.
