Why did Herman Schaefer not go straight to third? I don't understand the context under which he stole second, ran back to first and then stole second again. If he was safe on second, why not stay there? If he had time to keep going, why not steal third? Was this a worry of being tagged or thrown out? This is probably covered somewhere by Ken Burns. I'd call him but now he just lets it ring.

Great intro to this fantastic subject. I've been enamoured with Mohawks building New York skyscrapers since learning about it years ago but haven't found much info on it. Thanks.
