A couple of guys stole 7 before 1900, so that's before the modern era, of course. http://baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_stba.shtml This is a great website, and I've learned a lot of stuff there. Check out some of the other stuff there when you get a chance. Hey thanks for the info. AGK. Yeah I saw that also about the stolen bases. I almost didn't post the question about Gwynn but figured there must be a reason for seperating him from the other guys. I don't know the details on the game situations they were in. Hey I was wondering, can you tell me what the atmosphere at "wrigley field is like and also the old "county stadium" in Milwaukee? I seem to recall you mentioned them in the past before. They seem like a great place to see a baseball game. I have only been to "Dodger & Anahiem" stadium for games. troutman Wrigley is old school. There is very little in the way of advertisements, and the scoreboard is still manually operated. When the weather is nice, it's a great place to sit back and watch baseball, though the baseball that's played there often leaves little to be desired. A ticket at Wrigley can be especially hard to come by. Tickets for the upcoming Red Sox series start around $200 apiece, I've heard. There is an environment that has nothing to do with baseball (especially in the bleachers) at Wrigley. Some call Wrigley the world's largest open air tavern. But Wrigley is part of the history of baseball. My grandfather grew up going to games there. He saw Gabby Hartnett's Homer in the Gloamin' to beat the Pirates for the pennant on the last day of the season, back in the 30s. County Stadium, well that was so long ago, and I was just a kid when I went, though the baseball was always good there when I went. They had great teams 25 years ago. The tailgating scene was something of legend there (and they tell me it still thrives, tho less fans go today), but it might not be as legendary as the scene at Lambeau before Packer games. A bratwurst is the traditional food there, along with a Leinenkugel Red, though I'm not sure they serve that at Miller Park. Can't remeber if that beer is brewed by Miller or not. My mom went to games at County Stadium back in the late 50s, when the Braves played there, and they had great teams back then. I loved games at Dodger Stadium. Now that I got the MLB package on cable this summer, I get to hear Vin call the games when I stay up late enough. I miss that a lot. There will never be another announcer like Vin Scully. Enjoy it while it lasts, because he won't be there forever, though it seems like he will sometimes. I posted another question a few posts back. It's kind of hidden back there. I'm away this weekend, again, if I'm slow to respond. That's Awsome about your experiences and also your family history with these ball parks. I love history especially with the old ball parks. I would love to have a few brewskies on a nice day at wrigley field, just the atmosphere must be fantastic. I grew up in California and loved the 70's watching and listening to the Dodger games what memories with Vin Scully he is for sure the best but there are alot of great announcers. Remember the "farmer john comercials"? they were great I will have to think about your latest question that one is interesting. Anyway, thanks for the info. on the stadiums, very cool troutman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he had the wad of chew in his mouth back then, too. I think Todd Helton has a chance to break the record if he stays in Colorado for the rest of his career. I read that he hits 80 points better at home than on the road, also. Back to the question, go back further than Yaz. This player had the advantage of a lot of cheap homers down the lines in his home park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
