On this day in 1963, Curt Simmons stole home, or the last pitcher to do so.  He dashed home in a squeeze play aborted at the last second.  Nevertheless, Simmons was safe.

Wouldn't you love to see a video replay of that steal?  Wonder if they have one somewhere?

Overall, he won 193, lost 183 with a very good 3.54 career ERA.  He also completed 163 games.  He started 2 games in the 1964 World Series.
