You are correct about the Braves, but I can't reveal all of them yet, as one is an answer to the original question about who was the 5th or 6th player to 30/30.

There is one other franchise besides the Braves that have had 4 different players record 30/30 seasons.
Obviously I whiffed completely on my knowledge of Wagner and Cobbs as players. I thought they had a bit more slug in their game.

Your responses contained some helpful clues. When I was a kid, the two players who visited Shea and gave me an autograph were Ozzie Smith and Dale Murphy. So they became my favorite players. I know for a fact that Dale Murphy is in the 30-30 club. I'm going with him.

As an aside, I think it is a travesty that Dale Murphy isn't in the Hall of Fame.
