the 3 best base stealers ever to play the game.

What? No Billy Hamilton? Or do you have some silly requirement that they have an ability to get on base incorporated into these sham rankings? ;)

not related to your post, but is that my man #7 Kenny Lofton in your avatar pic?

even growing up in St Louis, I was a huge Indians fan, and Lofton was my favorite player. Still have a ton of his baseball cards, and would routinely trade higher value cards to friends if they had 3 or 4 Lofton cards that I didn't own already.

I even had a CLE jersey and fitted ball cap (back in my day, fitted caps weren't the norm yet and were more expensive than the snap back ones, and we didn't really have extra money for that kinda stuff)

Yes it is Lofton. One of the best CF'rs of all-time, especially defensively and just a menace on base paths. He has always been my favorite player, a human highlight reel. I had a ton of his baseball cards. I went to a ton of Indians game but we had really good seats one afternoon by the 3B side. I brought one of his rookie cards that day and he signed it for me.

the 3 best base stealers ever to play the game. where I grew up, I had to constantly explain to people that I didn't wear #7 in honor of that drunk HR hitter that used to play for the yanks, it was all about Lofton baby!

just realized, drunk HR hitter that used to play for the yanks describes about 5-10 dudes.
I was referring to Mantle, lol

Yeah I wore #7 on every team unless some douchebag already had it

definitely didn't say fastest ever, and I think Rock Raines would have something to say about my rankings as well!

Heh, that’s really weird... I was just joking in reference to TODAY’S Billy Hamilton.... The one that is REALLY fast, but hit like .218 last year.... I didn’t even know there was another one from the dead ball era who apparently is 3rd on the all time steals list! Oops!

Raines was my first baseball love.

Vince Coleman deserves to be in on the conversation.

Roberto Alomar Jr had a couple years of 50 (I think), probably the best, that you wouldn’t call a speedster.

LOL Ohh that slapdick, yeah he is fast but the old school Billy Hamilton stole bases like there was a toddler playing catcher...but I guess a lot more did in that era lol. He also hit .344 and his obp was .455. He was a beast

Now that we have 24, we can begin the draft.

I will start the A league draft thread this evening and we can officially start the clock tomorrow AM barring any objections.
Who is on the clock?
