On Sept. 1, 1963, this Cardinals pitcher did something no hurler has done since - or is likely to do again.

On Sept. 1, 1963, veteran St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Curt Simmons did something no other Major League pitcher has done since - and likely will never do again.

In a game against his former teammates the Phillies, Simmons drove in one run with a triple, has another RBI and stole home on a squeeze play. The squeeze play was aborted when Phils pitcher Chris Short uncorked a wild throw, and Simmons was credited with a steal of home.

It was the last of 40 steals of home by a pitcher since 1900.
