Aaron had 995 total HRs and steals, including his 240 steals.

Surprisingly, Griffey Jr. (184), and Mantle (153) did not make the cut.

5 more

Damn, Mantle I understand, because SB's were kind of forgotten about during his era (plus the knee issues), but why did I think Griffey Jr. was a gimme?

Reggie Jackson? He didn't steal many later in his career, but think he ran the bases a bit during his A's days.

A-Rod for sure.

YES! Reggie stole 228 bases. He was the most surprising on the list to me.

Yes, ARod is the only is the only player besides Bonds to have 1,000 combined HRs and steals, as he stole 329 bases.

I'm going with some of Hank Aaron's contemporaries:

Frank Robinson
Ernie Banks
Willie McCovey

No idea if they were fast, but I didn't think Hank Aaron was fast.

Well done! Frank Robinson just made the cut with 204 steals.

Banks (50) and Mccovey (26) were not base stealers.

Dave, so sorry for the late response. I think we submitted a post at the same time, and I just missed yours.

Yes, Slammin' Sammy Sosa is the correct response, as he had 234 steals (but i guess everyone already figured that out).

Good job by all

Good guess! Canseco had exactly 200 career steals, but was just shy with HRs at 462.

I would say either Mike Schmidt or Gary Sheffield
