Three active players have stolen more than 300 bases -- but have never led their league in steals. Can you name them?

Barry Bondage.

many people have never led the league in steals. Irish, you meant to say have never led their team in steals. I saw the answer so I won't say nothin' 'cept I thought Bonds was one of them but he isn't.

Probably,I just stole the question....two of the players surprised me.

Now checking back on Jayson Stark (the source of the trivia) it does say league but Barry Bonds never did lead the league in stolen bases. He was 3rd in 1990 with 52. I still think the question is really about team. (on edit) Even more checking finds that at least one of those players led his team at least once.

To Irish: Biggio? To MM: Steve Finley?
|

Biggio I think led the league once. One of the answers to the original question is that baseball vagabond Reggie Sanders.
|

|
Sanders - Yes
|
| DocTee Apr 26 2007 03:52 PM |
|
If Biggio is out than Finley must be one of the three.
|
| metirish Apr 26 2007 03:53 PM |
|
Finley - Yes

Omar Vizquel?
|

every player thus far mentioned in this thread has led his own team in stolen bases at least once. so if you're answering my question, cross: vizquel, finley, biggio, sanders, jeter, and bonds off your list of possible entries!

MM: Julio Franco
|
| sharpie Apr 26 2007 04:57 PM |
|
Julio Franco has led the Rangers in steals at least once.
|
| sharpie Apr 26 2007 05:03 PM |
|
I think it would have to be Royce Clayton
|
| metsmarathon Apr 26 2007 07:47 PM |
|
in 2000, royce clayton led the rangers with a whopping 11 steals...
|
| Edgy DC Apr 26 2007 08:24 PM |
|
I'm still trying to understand the question.
|
| metirish Apr 26 2007 08:27 PM |
|
Well I guess Finley,Vizquel and Sanders have 300 or more steals but have never led the AL or NL in any season. This is the second time I have used Stark as a source for trivia and both times his questions have caused confusion.

my question seeks to answer the confused alter-ego of the original question!
|
| metsmarathon Apr 27 2007 03:16 PM |
|
no more guesses, or is my question too difficult to answer?
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 27 2007 03:23 PM |

Just found the Q. One quick guess: Randy Winn By Randy Winn, I mean, Bobby Abreu
|
| metsmarathon Apr 27 2007 05:59 PM |
|
in 2002, bobby abreu tied with jimmy rollins for the phillie sb lead, with 31. the next year, he led the team all by his lonesome, with 22. randy winn led the tampa bay devil rays in '98 and '02, with 26 and 27 stolen bases, respectively.

Jeff Kent
|
| metsmarathon Apr 27 2007 10:41 PM |
|
indeed, jeff kent has never led his team in stolen bases, tho a mere 5 could have done the trick with the '94 metsies. however, his 94 career stolen bases falls a few dozen short of our man

Sammy Sosa. Gotta be,
|
| metsmarathon Apr 28 2007 11:22 AM |
