May 18th, 1969
On this day in 1969, César Tovar and Rod Carew combine to set a major league record for most steals by teammates in one inning, swiping five bases against the Tigers' battery of Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan. During the third inning, Tovar, the Twins' leadoff hitter, steals third base and home followed by Carew, who pilfers second and third base and home plate in the 8-2 loss at Metropolitan Stadium.
