So it's Rickey, Lou Brock and Vince Coleman...that's it...for the entire 20th century. And Rickey beat Lou Brock by 12 and Coleman by 20.




What is really weird is there is a Billy Hamilton that is really fast but didn't turn out to be all that good (300+ SBs but not much else) and there was a Billy Hamilton from the 1890's that stole 914, batted .344, and is in the HOF.

The odd thing is they don't look alike at all.
