Dom DiMaggio, in 1950, led the AL in stolen bases.

With 15.

Still the all time low for leading a league in SBs.

In a game at 3 Rivers while home on leave.

I think Willie McGee and Andy Van Slyke stole one apiece in that game as well.

I was still a Buccos fan in those days.

I've been living in the St Louis area for 20 years now, and the Pirates were a money laundering, cattle ranch, JOKE of a franchise for most of that time.

So, I switched - it took a dozen years or so, but I switched. It was the Larry walker Jimmy Edmonds Albert Pujols Scott Rolen cardinals that put me over the edge. That was a fun team to watch
