— Sully Engels, Sports Journalist

“To give a sense of how rare this was, since the start of Minor League Baseball's database in 2005, there have been 21 instances of a team stealing home twice in the same inning — 13 of which came at the Rookie ball level. Only once did those swipes come in the same at-bat: July 6, 2023, between the DSL Yankees and Blue Jays.”
