At least one U.S. drought is over. Adam Dunn stole a base on Tuesday night in Boston.

This was Dunn's first stolen base since August 16, 2008 during his brief tenure with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He stole a grand total of two that season, the other coming with the Cincinnati Reds.

Believe it or not, Dunn, who now measures 6-foot-6, 285-pounds, stole a career-high 19 bases in 2002 as a 22-year-old with the Reds and has stolen 60 bases in his career.

From 2009 to 2011, Dunn has attempted to steal one base each season but has been thrown out in each attempt. He was also caught on his last attempt on May 13 of this year against the Kansas City Royals.
