text: A stolen base would be awarded to runners who successfully stole second base as a part of a double steal with a man on third , if the other runner failed to steal home , but instead was able to return safely to third base . Runners who are tagged out oversliding the base after an otherwise successful steal would not be credited with a stolen base .
simplified: It is possible to steal second base , third base , or home plate , but not to steal first base .
