Why does baseball say that it's ok to steal? isn't stealing bases a bad thing to teach our children?

kids will grow up thinking that if baseball makes it ok to steal bases that it must be ok to steal period. what a bad example baseball teaches our youth.

i agree baseball does teach its ok to steal, the alltime great really took the whole base when he broke the record. at least when other player steal they leave the base for others to use during the game and i guess the last person to steal it grabs it after the game. its horrible!! even when someone gets caught stealing they only go back in the dugouts and change hats so no one knows who they are and go back on the field with the other guys some of whom have been caught stealing too, wheres the justice for the victims of the attempted theft. i never thought of it this way before but what is this sport teaching our kids. for as long as there has been baseball people have been stealing. stealing should be banned in baseball and people would no longer shoplift or rob banks. you are dork but you are a genius

now that i think of it interceptions in football are wrong too!! the defensive guy jump in front of a ball not intended for him and catches it AND runs away with it sometimes they even have people in the crowd they pass it off to when they get to the end of the field or they slam the ball into the ground and try to break it. other times if they cant catch the ball they knock the other guy down so he cant get it it madness
HEY! john stockton is considered a great basketball player for passing to his teammates but he stole more ball from the other team thamn anyone in history before him.
IM TAKING DOWN HIS FATHEAD

Right and playing sports teaches kids too be competitive too we can't have that can we? You're an idiot!

Y do u call urself Dork? Aren't u just teaching kids that it's ok to call people names?

Wow, you are always down on baseball

This is looking too far into it. Its a game and its a very legit move. Stop being so paranoid.

if you aren't a good enough parent to differentiate the difference between stealing a base, and committing a crime, then you would probably call yourself dork and ask dumb questions.

By the way, your mom is calling you up for lunch, she cut off the crusts of your PB& J sandwich like you prefer.

I see your point, but stealing a base in baseball is incorportated into the official rules of the game, so it isn't stealing in the strictest sense of the word.

"Dork" is the right name for you.

Obviously you take everything literally..."stealing" the bases is just a figure of speech! The players don't LITERALLY steal the bases and take them home in their bags do they?! Uh...DUH!!! Of COURSE NOT!!

I agree. They should call it "borrowing". "Boy, he reeeaally got a low APR on THAT one! Not even a throw from the bag."

Only if he runs like Cecil Fielder.

You're not really this dumb, but you score full marks on obnoxious. Crib left unguarded this morning? Isn't there another kiddie pool where you can yellow the waters?

NOT SO , KIDS NEED TO BE TAUGHT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GAME & REAL LIFE.

Almost as bad as the fact that sitting in front of a computer doing nothing but repeating one's self all day rots your brain cells. Quit now before you become a drooling idiot.
Have a nice day Forrest.

Oh come on now. You're just reaching.

If you were that worried about children, you wouldn't be on here asking so many questions about something you claim sucks so badly.

If people go out and steal because they saw it in a baseball game, they'll be arrested and hopefully jailed (or caned) - it's called natural selection, it weeds out the morons.

What does stealing bases in baseball have to do with children RETARD

Oh, come on dude. After they steal them they bring them back. Don't you know anything???

its just a game, kids know what theyre talking about if someone says "stealing a base"

dork u r a dork just to let u know, i reported u to yahoo, so u should get points off for ranting and stuff have a ncie day though!
