Has a Major League Baseball player ever stolen second, third, and home in the same inning?

Yes, There have been 55 instances of a player stealing second base, stealing third base, then stealing home during the same inning, by 47 different ballplayers.

Elly de la Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds became the first player in 50 years to do so with the same batter at the plate. This occurred during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 8, 2023.

...were the pitcher, catcher, and infielders drunk?
How the heck can you let a guy keep taking a big enough lead to steal 3 bases in a row?
Especially home!
Sheesh, that's horrendous defense. I know de la Cruz is a blur, but come on!
