Wild Pitch/Passed Ball
If a runner is making no attempt to advance to the next base until there is a wild pitch or passed ball, and is then put out trying to advance to the next base, this runner is not caught stealing. The runner is put out on a fielder's choice, and a wild pitch/passed ball would not be charged to the pitcher or catcher.

Though like a road
That men pass over
My body makes no moan
But sings on:
All things remain in God.”

—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
