The king of thives:

August 27, 1982, Rickey Henderson of the Oakland A’s breaks Lou Brock’s single-season stolen base record. Henderson steals his 119th base, surpassing Brock’s total of 118 thefts.

Inside the Park Homerun madness . . .

On August 27, 1977, Toby Harrah and Bump Wills of the Texas Rangers hit back-to-back inside-the-park home runs against the New York Yankees. Harrah and Wills connect on consecutive pitches in the Rangers’ 8-2 win at Yankee Stadium. This is the only time in MLB history players have hit back to back inside the park homeruns.

Bobby Abreu of the Philadelphia Phillies hits a pair of solo homers‚ including a game-winning inside-the-park shot off San Francisco Giant reliever Aaron Fultz in the 10th inning to win 2-1. Abreu's homer‚ his 20th‚ is the 5th inside-the-park home run game-ender in Phillies history and the first since Bob Dernier did it in 1989‚ also against the Giants. He's the 29th major-leaguer since 1900 to end a game with an inside-the-park Home Run and the 38th extra-inning inside-the-park homerun (according to David Vincent). Ed Vosberg (1-0) picks up his 1st win since 1997.
