They talk about in the Show all the Time that this Team plays Small Ball and this Team plays the Long Ball. Growing up some 30 Years ago playing Little League we were all trying to Steal a Base forget trying to move over via Hit, Wild Pitch, or Sacrifice.

Now the Art of the Stolen Base seems to be somewhat lost and the Stolen Base King, Rickey "I do Love Me Some Me" Henderson with them Flourescent Green Mizuno Batting Gloves, Record seems to be nearly untouchable. How untouchable...let' take a look at the Top 25 Steals Leaders of All-Time in the Show and the Top 10 Active Leaders.
