no you can not. although i can not quote exactly the rule,
the runner would be declared our for making a farce of the
game. (this rule was added a long time ago after some
runner did steal first back, dizzy dean gas house gang era
i believe)

p.s. in 20 years of umpiring i have yet to enforce this rule.
