Rickey Henderson: Baseball's All-Time Stolen Base Leader (Getty)

Rickey Henderson, some can argue, is the greatest all-around baseball player ever.  He could do everything at the plate…walks, singles, doubles, triples, homers…and then there were the stolen bases.  And maybe a good poker hand or two in there.

Henderson holds the modern single season record for stolen bases: 130.  You don’t hear that kind of stuff any more.

He’s also, of course, the all-time stolen base leader, with more than 50 percent more thefts than second place – the all-time great himself, Lou Brock.

Here’s the top 20 all-time stolen base leaders in baseball history.

Straight out of baseball-reference.com.  A quick hit, because I moved today, and of course I’m not done moving and outta wi-fi.  So here I am in McDonald’s (let me tell you they have good, free wi-fi and the coffee’s good too.  That ain’t free.) posting this bad boy.  Then it’s back to moving.
