In the bottom of the 3rd inning of the August 16, 1987 game against the Chicago White Sox at Exhibition Stadium, he successfully stole second base, and the throw from the catcher Carlton Fisk went into center field. However, shortstop Ozzie Guillen faked him out by acting as if the ball had been popped up. Thinking that he was about to be doubled off first, he ran back there instead of taking the extra base. Center fielder Kenny Williams threw in to first, but the ball went into the dugout. Moseby made it back safely to second, having run 270 feet to go 90 feet. Rather than being credited with a stolen base, it was ruled that he advanced to second base via Williams’ throwing error.
