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

Well done! Frank Robinson just made the cut with 204 steals.

Banks (50) and Mccovey (26) were not base stealers.

Jose Canseco?

Sammy Sosa?

Dave, so sorry for the late response. I think we submitted a post at the same time, and I just missed yours.

Yes, Slammin' Sammy Sosa is the correct response, as he had 234 steals (but i guess everyone already figured that out).

Good job by all

Good guess! Canseco had exactly 200 career steals, but was just shy with HRs at 462.

I would say either Mike Schmidt or Gary Sheffield

Reggie.

Correct! Sheffield had 253 steals to go along with his 509 HRs.

Schmidt had a good amount of steals early in his career, but came up just short at 174.

Correct, as Dave guessed in the 4th post.

One more to go!

Dave guessed Sosa but you did not respond. Has to be him, been through the list mentally and unless I'm forgetting someone, none were base stealers.

Pujols? McGriff? Kaline? Just throwing names out there in case Sosa is incorrect

Edited to add: looked it up ... Sosa is correct with 609/234. Pujols had enough HRs but only 117 SB, and my other two guesses weren't even in the ballpark.
