June 12, 20188 yr R. HendersonManny Mota (Can't remember if he was the guy with the old record)V. ColemanTy CobbW. Wilson Lots of more recent guys (well 80's) but I have no clue
June 12, 20188 yr Without looking it up, can anyone name the top 5 all time stolen base leaders in MLB history (1901 onward only)?I know I submitted my list but I am really bummed I left my name sake off the list...he's gotta be top 5 right?
June 12, 20188 yr Author HendersonBrockCobbRainesColeman?Wow, five for five, amazing. I got four but totally forgot about Raines.
June 12, 20188 yr Wow, five for five, amazing. I got four but totally forgot about Raines. I forgot Brock, got him confused with Mota, did Mota even steel bases?
June 12, 20188 yr I forgot Brock, got him confused with Mota, did Mota even steel bases?I think he was known more for ironing them. Awesome trivia question. I would have forgotten Coleman. Edited June 12, 20188 yr by wsnydes
June 12, 20188 yr R. HendersonManny Mota (Can't remember if he was the guy with the old record)V. ColemanTy CobbW. Wilson Lots of more recent guys (well 80's) but I have no clueI would drop Mota and add Tim Raines. And then think some more. And then cheat. (I haven't done the last two yet, but I'm about to.)
June 12, 20188 yr I would drop Mota and add Tim Raines. And then think some more. And then cheat. (I haven't done the last two yet, but I'm about to.)I skipped 2 and went part way to 3 - Lou Brock has to be in there, and I would probably drop Wilson.
June 12, 20188 yr I know I submitted my list but I am really bummed I left my name sake off the list...he's gotta be top 5 right?The only base I remember him stealing is the one he took from Ron Gant.
June 12, 20188 yr I knew the top 3. I guessed at the other two but figured Raines was pretty consistent and played a long time and Coleman seemed like he had a few massive years. I doubt we will ever see yearly totals like he put up. Different style of play now.
June 13, 20188 yr Without looking it up, can anyone name the top 5 all time stolen base leaders in MLB history (1901 onward only)?T. Cobb, Henderson (Oakland), Carew, Jackie Robinson, Pete Rose??
June 13, 20188 yr T. Cobb, Henderson (Oakland), Carew, Jackie Robinson, Pete Rose??Bravo for guessing without reading the answer later in the thread!
June 13, 20188 yr Part II of the question: the successful SB percentages of those top 5 are thus: 85, 80, 80, 80, and 75% (some rounding, but actually pretty close). Who got the 85% success rate?
