yes.

Last example I saw, Torii Hunter (LAA) 2009 Season.

A steal of home is exciting, but rarely done in modern Baseball. In contrast, Ty Cobb stole home 54 times!

The classic or "pure" steal is where the runner steals with no help from the batter. For example, if the runner notices the pitcher is not holding him close and/or the 3rd baseman is way off the bag, the runner can get a walking lead or a large secondary lead and then take off as the pitcher is still winding up and then try to score. The element of surprise often makes this successful.
