who has the most stolen bases in major league baseball history
List of Major League Baseball career stolen bases leaders Brock held the all-time career stolen bases before being surpassed by Henderson in 1991. Brock had held the record from 1977 to 1991.[6] Before Brock, Hamilton held the record for eighty-one years, from 1897 to 1977.[6] Before that, Latham held the record from 1887 to 1896. Latham was also the first player to collect 300 career stolen bases.[6] With Kenny Lofton's retirement in 2007, 2008 was the first season since 1967 in which no active player had more than 500 career stolen bases.[6] Between 2008 and 2010, no active player had more than 500 stolen bases until Juan Pierre collected his 500th stolen base on August 5, 2010. He was the leader in stolen bases for active players until his retirement at the end of the 2013 season.[6] José Reyes is the current active leader in stolen bases with 512 career.[3]
Stolen base A stolen base most often occurs when a baserunner advances to the next base while the pitcher is pitching the ball to home plate.
List of Major League Baseball stolen base records The pre-modern single-season mark for stolen bases is 138 by Hugh Nicol in 1887. In the modern era, Ty Cobb set a single-season mark of 96 stolen bases in 1915[24] that lasted until it was broken by Maury Wills with 104 in 1962. A new modern mark was set by Lou Brock with 118 in 1974, and again by Rickey Henderson with 130 in 1982. Henderson and Vince Coleman are the only players to record three 100-steal seasons in the modern era. Coleman is the only player to do it three seasons in a row, much less in the first three season of his career, as well as the only player to record 100 steals as a rookie.
