It seems like its too easy to steal home. You rarely see someone steal home maybe once every 3 years in real baseball. But in strato it seems like someone steals home every 5 games. Look at the game of the week.....the guy steals 2nd 3rd and home......maybe in the times of Rickey Henderson and Vince Coleman were base stealers that great...but now 60 sb's is a great year and stealing home never happens. Anyone else have this gripe??

Stealing home happens more than you think in real life. Everytime a MLB team tries a double steal, they are technically trying to steal home----if you look at the game of the week, Harris stole home on a double steal strategy. Also, any attempt to take a base after the pitcher drops the ball is technically a home steal.

Overall, I don't feel there such a big gap in the frequency.
