Jake's Five Steals

By the way, in case anyone is wondering if five swipes in a single game is a record or not, other than a Red Sox record, it's not. There are five guys who've swiped six, one of them in 2009: Carl Crawford (remember him?); and another pair of guys, both from the 19th century, who each grabbed seven in a game. For the record, they are: the Cubbies' George Gore (1891) and the Phillies' Billy Hamilton (1894). But, hey, even if it's not a MLB record, five in one night is still quite impressive! Go Jake!
