In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for May 17, 2022

He may be waiting for them to take the second baseman, too.

Then there’s also the shortstop. (Alas, it’s been such such a long time since he even reached first base.)

Pay no attention to the abducted player….heading toward the saucer…

There’s your sign.

He can’t, he’s on probation.

He missed the steal sign

He’s probing about it

He’s waiting for the beam to pass.

Don’t worry, Coach. I’ll steal soon enough. But I’m not dumb enough to step under that tractor beam, and I can’t leave the base line.

If they’re stealing him, surely, you can steal the base.
