Rickey Henderson is my favorite player because stealing a base is one of the coolest things you can do in all of sports. He stole so many bases that if you just count the 467 he stole AFTER claiming the new record, he would still be in the top 50 of all time

Great point. Stealing 467 bases would be a significant achievement in any era, deadball or liveball.

Henderson is basically Lou Brock and a half.

Bill James said it like this: If you cut Rickey Henderson in half you'd have two hall of famers.

Great video! Only a matter of time before you blow up with this stuff. Hope you keep 'em coming.

So here's some fun math: Ricky Henderson stole very close to TWENTY FOUR MILES worth of bases in his career!

👍🏼Really interesting! And yes, the bar graphs really illustrate how far out some these are! Great, fun list! 😎✌🏼

Awesome stats! Great job!

Thank you love this

Here's a couple: Connie Mack, 3731 wins (over 800 ahead of Tony LaRussa) and 3948 losses (over 1400 ahead of LaRussa). Nobody is going to start managing in his 20s and keep managing into his 80s because the only way that's possible is if you own the team. Barry Bonds: 688 intentional walks. Albert Pujols is second with less than half of that (316). Hoss Radbourn: 59 or 60 single season wins (depending on the source). Six ahead of second, 19 ahead of anything since 1900, 29 ahead of anything since 1968. Walter Johnson: 110 career shutouts, 20 ahead of Grover Cleveland Alexander. 47 ahead of anyone since World War II. Bobby Cox: 161 career ejections, 29 ahead of John McGraw. Instant replay assures this will never be broken.

What a great list of statistical outliers. Because I was watching a lot of games in 2004, I'll never forget the season Barry Bonds walked 232 times.

@@thebaseballprofessor Yes that record could be listed as well, 34 ahead of second place, 62 ahead of anyone not named Barry Bonds.

I forgot Cal Ripken's 2632 consecutive games, which is over 500 ahead of Lou Gehrig, who, in turn, was over 800 ahead of third place.

For a single season record, I'd say Owen Wilson's 36 triples in 1912 is one that's not likely to ever be approached.

Good one. Unles the dimensions of ballparks radically change, 36 triples is unsurpassable.

Great video

This is great! The only thing wrong with this video is it's WAAAAAAYYYYY too short! 😁

In 1899 Willie Keeler had 570 At Bats. He struck out 2 times😎

Great comment. After looking at Baseball Reference, I can see that Willie Keeler and Joe Sewell went 63.17 and 62.56 at bats per strikeout during their careers. On the all time list, they are much further removed from the third and fourth place finishers in Lloyd Waner (44.92) and Joe Start (43.51). One thing I find impressive about Joe Sewell's mark is that he played during the liveball era.

If you included the active career leader in the Rickey SB chart it probably would have illustrated how insane it is in today's environment. Dee Strange-Gordon needs to play to 42, and average 134 SB over those 8 seasons to reach it. He hasn't stole 60 for the last 5 years now.

Jack Chesbro 1904 41 -12, appeared in 55 games 51 starts 48 complete games 92 earned runs 454.2 innings pitched 6 shutouts this guy was 198 and 132, 2.68 era 2896 innings pitched this guy is deserving of the Hall of fame.! Jack chesboro was tortured all of his life because of a wild pitch! He lead off the bottom of the fifth inning with a triple and he was left stranded on third base! What about Jimmy McAleer s two run throwing error to the plate nobody talks about that. We don't even see pictures winning 41 games in 2 years. What about complete games 48 in a year you don't see pitchers completing 48 in 4 years ! Doesn't happen anymore setup, specialist, closer. Jack chesboro died November 6th 1931 he was 57 years old heart attack on his chicken farm.

Jamie Moyer had the most HR’s hit against him by a wide margin

Misery loves company.

Who is a BETTER Pitcher? The one who trow 7 No- Hitters or the one who won 355 games? Because the response is obvious. From that perspective Greg Maddux was a better Pitcher than Nolan Ryan. Why almost every Baseball analyst put Nolan Ryan in the category of a Demi-God? Because he was NOT. After all Wining is the NAME OF THE GAME.
