without peeking I'd say Mays, Barry Bonds, Griffey Jr. for sure, And guess Aaron and Mantle

EDIT: Why did I think the question said 5 guys?

.
Bonds has far and away the most with a total of 1,276 combined. He is the only on the list to amass more than 400 steals, with 514.

Mays had 999 total HRs and steals, including his 339 steals.

Aaron had 995 total HRs and steals, including his 240 steals.

Surprisingly, Griffey Jr. (184), and Mantle (153) did not make the cut.

5 more

Damn, Mantle I understand, because SB's were kind of forgotten about during his era (plus the knee issues), but why did I think Griffey Jr. was a gimme?

Reggie Jackson? He didn't steal many later in his career, but think he ran the bases a bit during his A's days.

YES! Reggie stole 228 bases. He was the most surprising on the list to me.

I'm going with some of Hank Aaron's contemporaries:

Frank Robinson
Ernie Banks
Willie McCovey

No idea if they were fast, but I didn't think Hank Aaron was fast.

Nope. Very good guesses, but this guy only had 12 SBs in his career. Killebrew had 19 and Ortiz had 17.

It must be McGwire then, never saw him run. I didn't guess him at first thinking maybe as a youngster he had stolen a few.

Is Andrew McCutchen still active? He’s maybe been around long enough.
