Moises Alou Steals Home!

Image via WikipediaIs he the oldest player to ever do it?

Let's look it up! Hmmmmm....no one is talking about this, and I cannot find this particular record anywhere. The closest info I found comes from the always great "Baseball Fever" (Link Below).

OK, someone knows...I think...Bueller? Anyone?

UPDATE: I have found out that at least four players have stolen home after age 40, and the list already included Moises Alou, who did it in 2006. The others are Minnie Minosa (probably the oldest when he did it), Davey Concepcion, and Paul Molitor.

I am still looking for help!

Stealing home plate is NOT an officially recorded statistic so research into this unusual feat is still considered on-going.

Here is a list of players who had at least ten (10) documented steals of home during their career:

Stealing Home Plate Ten Times in a Career

The last National League player to steal second, then third, then home plate during the same inning was Eric Young of the Colorado Rockies on June 30, 1996. The last American League player to steal second, then third, then home plate during the same inning was Chris Stynes of the Kansas City Royals on May 12, 1996. The career record for these larcenous occurrences are four (4) in the American League by Ty Cobb and three (3) in the National League by Honus Wagner.

So Moises Alou did it last night, and I am frustrated by my inability to figure out if he is the oldest to do it. Thanks to Baseball Fever for the above stats.
