Kent Hrbek congratulates Jonathan Schoop for Jarrod Dyson caught stealing

One of the biggest plays of Game 1 of the ALCS was in the seventh inning, when Royals speedy pinch runner Jarrod Dyson was thrown out trying to steal second base, though it looked like Dyson may have been forced off the bag by Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop.

Dyson stole 36 bases in 43 attempts (83.9 percent) in the regular season, including 26 of 31 (83.9 percent) when trying for second base.

The play happened with no outs in a 5-5 tie, and caught the eye of a former major leaguer.

Kent Hrbek, the former Twins first baseman who played 14 years in the majors and won two World Series in Minnesota, knows of what he speaks. In Game 2 of the 1991 World Series, Hrbek got an out call against Ron Gant of the Braves thanks to a little, well, let's call it physical persuasion.
