Yep that was a massive thing to steal that base; lazy play from the Dodgers. Much easier to score a run from 3rd than 2nd. No-one covered 3rd base so he stole it (God I sound like a Yank).
The batter had 4 balls thrown at him (bad pitches) so he walked to 1st and the guy at 1st walked to 2nd...
Great to wake up to the news today that the METS march on. They have been my team since I went to Shea Stadium in 1970 for the first time as a 9 year old. And then regular visits every year to the Big Apple seeing as my siblings all settled there.
Actually saw the great Willie Mays play for them...
