I think the stealing adds a bundle to the game. It keeps a player in the catching position. It keeps the pitcher and catcher in the game because they can no longer think about the beer after the game .

It keeps the umpire on their toes, also.

This year in our states of all levels, the steal was a big part of the game including delayed steals of home.

It is so well liked by the "college" players, that every level wants it.
