Kenny Lofton's greatest baserunning magic trick wasn't even a stolen base

Kenny Lofton spent 17 years in the Majors as a constant pest to opposing pitchers. He was a .300 hitter for almost his entire career, he had a steady eye at the plate and, most annoyingly, he was a menace on the basepaths.
Lofton's 622 stolen bases rank second to only Rickey Henderson among all players from the past 30 years. Much like Henderson, Lofton -- who turns 51 on Thursday -- was capable of completely taking over a game with his all-around abilities:

Of course, baserunning ability can sometimes be tricky to measure, as stolen bases are only part of the equation. In fact, Lofton's most famous heist wasn't actually a steal.
The scene was Game 6 of the 1995 American League Championship Series. Playing in their first postseason in 41 years, the Indians were on a roll and found themselves a mere couple innings from winning the pennant. But they were on the road in the Kingdome, where the Mariners had stunned the Yankees with a comeback just a week prior, and Dennis Martinez only held a 1-0 lead over AL Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson.
Looking for insurance runs, Tony Pena led off the eighth against Johnson with a double. Lofton followed, and proceeded to put on a show with his speed: He reached on a bunt single, moving pinch-runner Ruben Amaro Jr. to third, and on the next pitch, he swiped second to put two runners in scoring position for Omar Vizquel.
Then, chaos ensued. Johnson's 2-0 pitch ticked off the glove of catcher Dan Wilson, sending the ball toward the first-base dugout:

Amaro scored to make it 2-0, but Lofton saw the possibility for more.
Neither Johnson or Wilson looked to be in a huge rush to get the ball back to home plate, and why should they? Amaro's run was not in doubt, and it's extremely rare for the runner on second to even be in a position to potentially score on the same play.
Then again, Lofton was an extremely rare player, and he capitalized on the oversight:

The last time Johnson had a look at Lofton, he wasn't at third base yet, but then he turned on the jets. Not only was it 3-0 now, but Lofton scored from second on a passed ball without it even really being a close play.
Emboldened by Lofton's daring maneuver, the Indians quickly turned away the Mariners in the eighth and ninth to give Cleveland its first World Series appearance since 1954.
