The ball doesn't need to touch something in order for the runners to be allowed to steal. It simply has to reach the front edge of home plate. However, if the ball touches the ground BEFORE reaching home plate, touches the plate itself, or touches the batter, runners may not steal.
Check 8-4-F and 8-7-R.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
