Today in Sports - Pete Rose, 39, Steals Second, Third, & Home Base in One Inning for Phillies

Rose became the last National League player to do it before Jackie Robinson, and the Phillies won despite the rare three-steal inning.

  • Philadelphia Phillies infielder Pete Rose, 39, stole second, third, and home in a single inning, showcasing rare aggressive baserunning that energized the team and thrilled fans.
