Wait for the pitcher to throw the ball home then run for the next base.
Curt Simmons - St. Louis vs. Philadelphia Sept 1, 1963
You steal a base by running for it before the pitcher even pitches, instead of waiting for the batter to hit the ball. If the pitcher sees you, instead of pitching to the batter the pitcher must throw the ball to a team mate who must tag you out before you reach the base safely. You can choose to return to the base you started on, but to steal the base you must arrive safely on home.
Jacoby Ellsbury of the Boston Red Sox stole home plate against Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte on April 26, 2009. Jayson Werth of the Philadelphia Phillies stole home plate in the seventh inning against the Dodgers on May 12, 2009.

Home rune, steal home, Balked in the the pitcher, Walked in with bases loaded, by the batter hitting a single, Sack file, Run down between third and home, passed ball by the pitcher or catcher
You can just run home on a play, steal home, tag up, or be walked home (If the pitcher walks someone on loaded bases)
in little league you have to wait for the ball to cross home plate but every level after little league you can steal at any time you want to no matter who has the ball or where the pitcher is or what he is doing.
Very rarely, the last person to do was Bryce Harper.
Technically you can steal home if the ball goes behind the catcher or something. You can attempt to steal home if the catcher is there but it wouldn't be the smartest thing to do because they would just tag you out. /// The above answer is completely wrong. Of course you can steal home! If there is a passed ball or wild pitch-- that isn't a steal, that's scoring on an error!// 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. Note that there are 28 ways or situations in which a runner on 3rd can score in baseball. This is just 1 of them.
Robert Person on June 2, 2002 against the Montreal Expos. He also had a three run home run in that game.
