(Also, copy/paste the actual rule plus link to it - thanks for including the rule number but given they can change over time, it's best to include the text.) | |

There's no complexity in the question as asked (it specifically says 2nd and 3rd bases were stolen), though there has been a raft of questions (of varying specificity) recently, all asking variations on this theme. | |
