I think Ellsbury did it once. Not sure of the others. Assume Vince Coleman is too far back.

The ONLY two correct answers so far are Jacoby Ellsbury (70 SB in 2009) & Ichiro Suzuki (704 ABs in 2004)..


Keep Trying!

None of these.

OOOPS! CORRECTION:

Willie Wilson had 705 ABs in 1980.

You're correct, Scott- My Mistake - see post #11.

So, now we have two out of the three for question #1 & two of the four for question #3.

OK so he (Rollins) must have had 700 AB.
Maybe Reyes in that category as well?

I think Juan Samuel as a Phillie had over 700 ABs. And maybe another Phillie got there too? Jimmie?

I cheated and peaked at answers, because I had no idea after going through all the teams (for the AB and stolen bases). I just want to say you all are very impressive but I don't think you're going to get the other guy with 70 stolen bases. That, in my mind, based on the discussion here, is the most remote.

Peter - you got two correct answers:

Rollins set the record for ABs in a season with 716 in 2007

Hank Aaron, indeed, stole 31 bases in '63, second to Maury's 40.

Randall- You were correct in recalling that Juan Samuel had 701 ABs in 1984.


As 'Tennis13' stated, the last one will be even more difficult.

Impress your friends and neighbors...keep working on it.
