Yes, McGwire had only 12 stolen bases. Thome had 19. Ted Williams had 24.

Interesting contrast to Canseco who was a big dude but could really run. Such a waste of talent, although I guess by the numbers you could say he had a pretty good career.

Was surprised to learn that during Canseco's 40/40 season in '88, he became only the 3rd MLB player to have a 40/20 season, the first 3 being Aaron (twice), Mays, and Yastrzemski.

Canseco is one of 4 players to have three or more 40/20 seasons.
The first player to do so was Barry Bonds, followed by Canseco, ARod (who did it 4x), and most recently Ohtani.
