Top 10 Stolen Base Threats of All Time

Rickey Henderson

August 28, 2009 – Peter Schiller

This list of the most prolific base stealers in the history of the game of baseball was taken from the Baseball Almanac’s list of the most stolen bases in a single season. My top 10 is taken from men on this list who appeared the most times. For example, recent Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson appears on this list seven times and Lou Brock only twice.

1. Rickey Henderson

2. Billy Hamilton

3. Vince Coleman

4. Hugh Nicol

5. Arlie Latham

6. Tom Brown

7. Harry Stovey

8. Ty Cobb

9. Tim Raines

10. Lou Brock

Who did I miss or who have I listed in the wrong slot? Let us know below!

Lou Brock should be higher. He’s 2nd all time in stolen bases behind Henderson. And Cobb is 3rd all time. He should be higher as well. Other than that, your list is pretty decent. Good job.
