White Collar: "Stealing Home"

Recap: Neal (and Mozzie) join a celebrity crew, led by a John Dillinger expy named Gordon Taylor (played by Hal Ozsan), that plans to steal Babe Ruth’s signed baseball from Yankee Stadium. Taylor gets away in the end, but the ball is saved. More exposition on Neal’s commutation hearing, and we find out that Peter played minor league ball! He left after a rotator cuff injury.

Review: Good episode, I wouldn’t put it on a par with the mid seasons finale episode “Checkmate”, but it was definitely entertaining. The procedural heist formula worked well, the guest stars were interesting and Neal did this really amazing billiards trick. Oh, and Peter was adorkable as usual. My only beef with the show right now in fact, is that I really don’t like the Agent Kramer storyline. He’s being a jerk for no apparent reason.
