The main story — and it’s a biggie — is Bruce Schoenfeld’s “Stealing Home,” an ode to a dying art.

    From D. Bruce Brown, via Facebook:

    “Schoenfeld shortchanges the research efforts of Bob Davids and others on steals of home. It’s an interesting read, but credit should be given.”

    From Danny Peary, via Facebook

    “The straight steal of home is an art that isn’t dying–it died a long time ago.”

    Sorry, but I’ve never heard of Bob Davids and didn’t utilize any of his research. Not sure what credit I would have given. I talked with 65 players and coaches myself. — Bruce Schoenfeld

    Bruce, I apologize. I didn’t realize you had responded. Not only will you like this: http://bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&bid=772&pid=16902, but you are clearly one of us.
