Rick Wise of the Phillies and I'd guess Tim McCarver as the catcher.

 

Last out I'd guess Pete since he was at the top of the line up.

 

Very nicely done!

What year was it? 71 or 72? Wise changed teams from the Phils to the Cards.

 

The Wise no-hitter and two homer game was in '71, the first year I went to a Reds' game. If I am not mistaken Wise was traded after that season for another pitcher.

 

Anyone want to take a shot at who the Phillies traded Rick Wise for?

Lefty in one of the worst trades in History!

Heard this one the other day watching a game.

 

Name 2 players that stole 2 bases on one pitch? So that is 4 combined stolen bases on one pitch.

I am curious how this is even possible.

I can explain or I can wait until someone gets it right?

Well, I found an instance when Jimmy Rollins did it and now see how it can happen with one runner.

Brandon Phillips did it once.

This was done on 1 pitch with 4 stolen bases.

It happened in 1985. Vince Coleman was on 2nd and Willie McGee was on 1st. They both took off and on the throw to third Coleman slide past the bag and went towards home. He then eventually made it home and McGee to 3rd. They both were rewarded with 2 stolen bases.

Without actually seeing it, it'd be hard for me to award McGee the 2nd SB. Seems like it'd be more a situation of advancing on the throw to home.

 

Just out of curiosity, was the game being played in St. Louis?

Your not implying that some Official Scores are "Homers" are you

I'm just relaying the information.

August 1, 1985 ? The most exciting play I?ve ever seen. Period. | Throatwarbler's Blog (obsolete)

 

Here’s the setup.

 

Vince Coleman leads off against the Cubs starter Scott Sanderson with a single. Willie McGee follows that with a walk. With Tommy Herr batting left handed against the right handed Sanderson, McGee and Coleman go on a double steal. This is such a low percentage play with the catcher having an unobstructed line of sight to the third baseman, but with Vince Coleman, rules of thumb were pretty much thrown out the window.

 

Coleman slides into third base Lou Brock style, meaning a late and very hard slide. He beats the throw but Cubs third baseman Ron Cey thinks he’s out and takes a couple of steps towards the shortstop, looking at the umpire. Coleman overslides the base pretty badly. When Cey realizes that Coleman is safe, but off the base, he starts moving to tag Coleman. Coleman reacts quickly and breaks for home, getting into a rundown. The idea here is that since Coleman is out, he can at least delay the play long enough for McGee to get to third base. That would have worked fine, except the Cubs forgot to cycle in another defender behind catcher Jody Davis. When Davis throws the ball back to Cey, there is nobody between Coleman and home plate. Coleman scoots home on the play, scoring the first run of the game. McGee never stopped running, so when Cey looked down all frustrated by their defensive blunder, McGee slides safely into third base behind him.

 

This gave the official scorer fits. How do you score this particular play ? There was no errant throw, nobody dropped the ball (literally, as Leon Durham should have covered home after the Davis throw) so while there was a mental error, in the baseball sense, no error can be given. The proper scoring is that Coleman stole two bases on the play. McGee is also credited with a clean steal of second base, with no play. Since he continued running while Coleman was in the rundown, McGee is also awarded a second stolen base for reaching third safely.

 

So there you have it. One pitch, four stolen bases. I’ve looked through a lot of baseball history and can find no record of this happening before, and it certainly hasn’t happened since.
