On July 16, 1969, Rod Carew stole home for the 7th time in a season. At the time, it was listed as a Major League record, although the 18-time All-Star later lost the record to another player – one who died six years before Carew ever played a game.
Mick Gillispie told the story of Carew’s once-but-never-a-record and his path from Panama to the Majors during the sixth inning of Tennessee’s game with the Huntsville Stars on Wednesday.
