Rickey Henderson? Couldn't name a year, but I would think he would have been a candidate in his days in Oakland.How many times has a player hit 70+ extra base hits and 70 stolen bases in the same season?Who was the player / were the players?

Hmm. I will say 2 people have done it.
I'm Goign to guess Ty Cobb did it once, maybe twice. I think Tim Raines is up for HoF election this year and i will call him as the second.

I could see Jose Reyes pulling this off shortly.

I should have known Juan - as I type this wearing my Phillies T-shirt.
I'm guessing someone can confirm Cobb - he had to go 40/20/10 2b/3b/Hr or something close to that breakdown once or twice.

I think Cobb is the only one and he did it once. Actually, I take it back Juan Samuel had 70/72 one year.

Eric Davis stole >50 bases just once, and that year had only 45 XBH.

While we are on the subject of SBs, was there a different scoring rule in 1887? Cause there are 6 players credited with 100+ steals and 22 players with 70+ steals.
I looked it up . . . before 1898 players were credited with a SB if they advanced more than one base on another player's base hit.

Heck back then, walks used to count as a hit in batting average...

I don't think Carl will ever top 70 steals.Crawford

Bingo.Research or read the snippet in the Post?

I went to BBR and looked for candidates under power-speed leaders. Saw Samuel's name and thought it was a possibility.

Funny you mention that. I read this fact in the NY Post and they talked about it in the context of Reyes, who has a definate chance to do this.

66-64 last year. I wonder how many people have even broke the 60/60 mark twice in their career?
