No, seriously. There’s video evidence and everything. Kansas City’s lead-footed designated hitter had five career stolen bases in 1,166 career regular-season games.
And he stole a base in the playoffs, in a game that could eliminate the Angels, the team with the best record in baseball, from the postseason. It happened shortly after Eric Hosmer’s home run gave the Royals a 5-1 lead in the third inning of Game 3 of the ALDS.
Obviously, Twitter reacted.
October baseball is just the best, isn’t it?
