The Man of Steal
It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
Rarely will a single play keep me awake half the night. But something like Damon's double dash was just that very thing to keep me awake last night.
I still can't believe it. I wasn't alone, either:
"You know how people always tell you that they've been in baseball for 40 years, 50 years, and things happen every game that they never saw?" asked Yankees coach Tony Pena, after his Sunday night had turned into Monday morning and he was still trying to digest one of the most astonishing finishes to any game in his 35 seasons in baseball.
"Well, I've never seen that before," said Tony ...

Life had been good for Brad Lidge and the Phillies last night. Well, if not good, certainly improving; Pedro Feliz had just hit a home run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at 4, and Lidge had dispatched the first two batters of the Yankees’ ninth inning without incident. Then Johnny Damon hit a single to left on a full count, and the Phillies put in a massive defensive shift to account for the dead-pull Mark Teixeira at the plate. Johnny Damon takes off ...
Johnny Damon Keys Yankees Win
MLB Babble —
When I watched Johnny Damon blindly run from second to third base in the top of the ninth inning, I immediately thought, ‘Damon, you idiot. The ball didn’t get away!’ Little did I realize in that split second that the Phillies were playing a huge shift on Mark Teixeira, leaving nobody at third base. Damon quickly realized the throw had pulled third baseman Pedro Feliz toward ...
Quotes From Last Night: Game 4 Edition
Fack Youk —
Johnny Damon: I think what I had to see before I could start running to third base was how Pedro (Feliz) caught the ball, so I knew it drug him off some. I’m just glad that when I started running, I still had some of my young legs behind me… You know, it worked out, because I felt like being on third base, it possibly takes away a slider, a tough slider in the dirt that I may be able to score on. Brett Gardner: He stole two bases in nine seconds, I don't know if that's ever been done before. When he went to third I said, ‘Oh no.' All of us did because as soon as you see him get up and go, you assume that Johnny thought the ball got by him and ...
Inattentive Phillies Allow Johnny Damon to Kidnap Philly Phanatic

Inexplicably, the Phillies allowed Johnny Damon to steal two bases on the same pitch in the ninth inning of a 4-4 game in the World Series. After the game, the Phillies inattentiveness continued, as Damon was able to kidnap the Philly Phanatic.
Damon’s Double Steal – Greatest Play in W.S. History Or The Most Incredible Athletic Feat In All of Humankind?
Can't Stop The Bleeding —
Willie Mays robbing Vic Wertz? Ho hum. Mazeroski’s walk-off before they called such things a walk-off? Whatevah. Carton Fisk’s game-winning shot down the leftfield line in 1975? Fuck off. All of the above pale in comparison to the not-so-idiotic Johnny Damon’s most astonishing of accomplishments ; running another 90 feet to claim an uncovered 3rd base. The dust had barely cleared from the Yankees’ 7-4 defeat of the Phillies in last night’s Game 4 of the World Series before pundits reputed (and otherwise) fell over themselves hailing the former ...
