I have a question for all you official scorers out there. It occurred in a Red Sox-Yankees game earlier this season. Tell me how you'd score this play: Johnny Damon is the runner on first base. There's a full count on the batter. Damon attempts to steal second base on the next pitch. The pitch is ball four. Damon doesn't realize it. He aggressively slides into second base--and overslides the base. He is tagged out by shortstop Derek Jeter. Damon is out, but how is the play scored. Is it a caught stealing? I don't think so, because Damon safely reached second (albeit momentarily) and he was entitled to the base because the batter drew a walk. Does is go into the scorebook as a pickoff, maybe? I'm curious. Does anyone know the answer?
I expect it would be scored as F6 unnassisted for tagging a runner off the base. He did not steal a base and was tagged off the base. He is not caught stealing, and he was not picked. A footnote in the official scoring record would probably be appropriate.

But I am just an umpire and should not care how they score it.
