	A fun game, but if you held this one out for two more weeks (give or take) it could have appropriately coincided with the announcement of Rickey Henderson's election to the Hall of Fame!

	wow, this was seriously hard. Great quiz.

	Great quiz, very tough. Although, shouldn't "Van Haltren" be accepted for the last answer and not just "Haltren'? Thanks!

	Seems like most of they players came from either the 60s-80s, or from the "Dead-Ball" Era (before 1920). I know most of the recent players, though I didn't answer them, but don't know most of the earlier players.

	Exactly right Crazed...there was very little base stealing from the '20s until about the late '50s. It got big again with the turf fields and lower scoring. Lately it's back down to a more moderate level.

	The reason there are so many 19th century players (Hamilton, Van Haltren, Latham, Hoy) is that before 1897, scorers could award a "stolen base" for situations that are not considered stolen bases in the modern sense. For example, a runner could be awarded a stolen base if he went from first to third on a hit-and-run base hit ... in modern baseball the runner is not awarded a stolen base for that.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I got 10. There were a couple I simply drew a blank on.(Morgan, Wilson, Lofton) and one I forgot how to spell.(Campaneris)I was surprised Aparicio wasn't on there.

	So the reason why it wouldn't accept "Van Haltren" is you did not allow for the "Van" in the answer? That is a mistake.

	Juan Pierre has 554. He's only 33. It looks like he'll be added to this list soon, and probably someone else like Carl Crawford (29 years old and 427 stolen bases.)

	This quiz needs to be updated. Juan Pierre, who is still playing, now has 591 stolen bases and should be 19th on the list. He's only 35 and could easily add another 150 or more to his total before he retires. (Rickey Henderson, the career leader in this stat, played until he was coming up to his 45th birthday.)

	Really not buying the fact that 1 out of 50 people knew Dummy Hoy. Googling is NOT sporcling!
