The Main Ingredient
 
 In 1907, during a major league baseball game, second base was stolen 13 times by the winning team.  The catcher for the losing team, Branch Rickey, was unable to pick off even a single runner.  That record stands to this day.  It also spelled the end of Rickey's career as a baseball player after just two short seasons.  With nothing else to do, he went to college and law school.
