Oh, I just read your post again.

Note: I am slowly going through a 1960 league (for the third time) and comparing what happens in OOTP with what actually happened in the same real life games. Nothing magic about 1960, just what I chose for the purpose.

Are you using game logs (play by play for retrosheet) to see double steals? I'm not sure that is possible as neither document announces 'double steal".
See this from July 1,1960

Is this a double steal? If the catcher does not get thrown out at third it would have been as Javier would not be standing still at 1st.
Since he was thrown out we must look at intent. I think we both agree that this was not a steal attempt, especially with a Catcher running. Hmm, looks like a play OOTP gets slammed for all the time.
