WPA seems like a decent measuring stick. Rickey is ranked #16, behind most of the top-tier greats mentioned (Ruth, Williams, Mays, Aaron, Mantle, Musial and Cobb) but ahead of DiMaggio and Clemente.

Thanks for posting. Interesting stat showing that he is the all-time leader in stolen bases both under age 30 and age 30+ and that no one else is in the top 18 on both lists.

I heard that Rickey had the highest WAR since 1940 of any player other than A-Rod and Bonds. No steroid accusations with Rickey.

Another fun Rickey stat..... he had a slightly higher success rate at stealing 3rd base than 2nd base (it was roughly 81% vs. 80.5%). Not sure if he ever successfully tried stealing home?

Rickey's very last stolen base was fittingly, him beating a pick-off attempt at 44 years old.

I wonder if that's generally true? Logically, one could posit that the much better lead/jump one can get off second base offsets the shorter throwing distance. But i don't know.

It's generally easier to steal 3rd.

Fun fact: the year Rickey stole 130 bases, he had just 7 steals in Sept/Oct.
