Question
Hi,
 Tom, when is the last time someone successfuly (or heck, even attempted) to steal home.  I'm not a die hard fan, but I do watch when I can and I cannot recall in the past 2 decades such a thing.

Answer
Tim,

  It's rare, but it happens every year. I've done some poking around, and you might find the following sites helpful:
