It happened a few years ago. He got this monstrous jump and never even slid into second and when he eyed the catcher lobbing the ball back to the pitcher just took off for third base and stole it as well.

Who knows if that's accurate, though. On Nick Hundley's wikipedia page, it says that Nick has said they are not related. Who knows if that's accurate, though.

But they coulld still be related, perhaps a nephew or something. Dwight Gooden is Gary Sheffield's uncle, despite being only 4 years older. Good point, Raphy; I didn't check DoB's.

You don't think that Hundley, world-class stud at age 14, could be Nick's father? Uh oh, sounds like Raphy is questioning Todd Hundley's manhood.

Dexter Fowler alone stole 5 bases by the 4th inning (second base, then tird base on a double-steal in the first inning; second and third in the third inning, then second base in the fourth inning before Young was removed). Seven of the 8 SB resulted in runs. Padres manager Bud Black had enough sense to lift Young before the record for steals in a game could be broken - by the 6th inning at the pace they were going! Young was never good at holding runners, but this was probably his worst game. Btw, does anyone know if Nick Hundley is related to catchers Todd and Randy Hundley? The player pages don't list any relationship, but it would be kind of cool if they were grandfather-father-son MLB catchers.

You really have to do some crazy stuff to get that many steals. He was stealing third with 2 outs when down by 6 runs, stuff like that. Of course he was caught a lot that year as well. I've been thinking for a while about going through all his steals to figure out just how much they really helped. I was looking at some of the logs for Rickey Henderson's 1982 season once.

During one inning he stole 2B, 3B and home. His teammates stole 4 bases (McCracken 2, Burks and Bichette 1 each). Then again, Piazza was the Dodgers catcher, so maybe it's not so surprising :-) The record for SB in a game by a team is 12 by Oakland on 1976-08-01, but that was a 12 inning game. For a 9 inning game, the Marlins also had 10 SB on 2000-05-18. (These are all Retrosheet era, of course.) You're right, Young's game was wild. During one inning he stole 2B, 3B and home.
