Germany Schaefer stole first base. On Aug. 4, 1911, playing for the Washington Senators, Schaefer stole second base conventionally, hoping to draw a throw from the catcher so a teammate could steal home. The catcher didn't throw, so on the next pitch Schaefer ran back to first.

Has anyone ever been ejected from the major league baseball all-star game?
No
Has anyone ever stolen 1st base in a baseball game?
It is a baseball saying that "you can't steal first base", so it is perhaps surprising that it has been done, at least once. On August 4, 1911, Herman A. "Germany" Schaefer was on first base and another runner was on third. Schaefer stole second in an unsuccessful attempt to draw a throw so the other runner could steal home. Since this didn't work, he returned to first base--"stealing" first from second--so that he could try again. It has also been reported that he did this in an earlier game, but the report is unconfirmed. It wasn't until 1920 that the rules were changed so that a runner could not relinquish a base that he had safely reached.
Has anyone ever snorted Ajax?
No
Has a professional baseball team ever used the first base side dugout for their home games?
Yes several teams do. The Red Sox dugout is and always has been on the first base side to name one.
Has anyone ever stolen home during an intentional walk If so who and when?
The last documented time this happened was May 28, 1993. The Twins won when an attempted intentional walk of Kirby Puckett went awry and Lance Parrish stole home to win 7-6.
