In baseball, a stolen base occurs when a baserunner successfully advances to the next base while the pitcher is delivering the ball to home plate. In baseball statistics, stolen bases are denoted by SB. If the catcher thwarts the stolen base by throwing the runner out, the event is recorded as caught stealing (CS). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_base There is also a "Fielder's indifference," this is when a base runner that is on 1st or 2nd and the other team just lets the base runner take the next base without a throw. Here's a web site that talks about just that: http://www.netshrine.com/vbulletin2/printthread.php?t=3240 You can read an example of this by going to this site and go to COLORADO 9TH: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/scorelog/2003/06/07/3758_scorelog.html
