Carl Crawford Steals 6 Bases

[grizband]

Carl Crawford tied a record today, as he stole 6 bases in the Rays 5-3 victory of the Red Sox - only three players in have achieved this mark since 1900.


"Crawford was 4 for 4 with an RBI and joined Eddie Collins, Otis Nixon, and Eric Young as the only players to steal six bases in a game. Collins did it twice in 1912, while Nixon and Young did it in 1991 and 1996, respectively."

Glad he is on my fantasy baseball team

Rockies outfielder Dexter Fowler tied the rookie record with 5 in a game earlier this week as well. The SB is back.

My first thought when I saw the headline was that two or three of those steals were probably due to defensive indifference, but apparently only one was. This is a very impressive feat. I'd like to see the stats on the previous guys with 6 and compare how many of theirs' were contested. Perhaps Crawford deserves even more props.
