Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon says that the team has long discussed stealing two bases on a single pitch.

Damon stole second and third in Sunday night's Game 4, putting himself in position to score the game-winning run.

New York discussed the play in prior seasons when Jason Giambi saw defensive shifts all the time.

Philadelphia used a similar shift against Mark Teixeira, giving Damon the opportunity steal second and third with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
