This day in baseball: Gehrig steals home

On July 24, 1926, Lou Gehrig stole home for the second time that season. The feat was accomplished as part of a double steal, with Babe Ruth as the trailing runner. The Iron Horse would steal 102 bases during his career, with 15 of those thefts being of home plate.
