The second and third greatest base stealers of all time?

[D. Bergin]

I'll break it down into categories like Rickey's career.

Under 30 years old and Over 30 years old.

Best Under 30 - Rock Raines

Best Over 30 - Davey Lopes

Both for their ruthless efficiency.

Very soft spot for Vince Coleman. Those 1st 5-6 years in the league was just chaos on the basepaths.

He wasn't as good at getting on base as Rickey, and that really hurt him as he aged and became less and less valuable as an all-around player...but when he did...man...he was going, whether you liked it or not.

Willie McGee was the much better and more valuable player of the 2 speedsters on those Cardinals teams. Hell, even Ozzie, Tommy Herr and Andy Van Slyke were better players, and more efficient then Vince, but man, was Vince fun to watch when he got on.

Also, feels a little wrong to leave Lou Brock out of the equation, even if a lot of people think he might have been a little over-rated.
