In a separate thread here, I've gotten caught up in a project that tries to separate the speedy base-stealers from those savvy guys who just seem always to do the smart thing ... taking the extra base on batted balls ... or simply swiping the occasional base when the pitcher or the catcher is "napping."
I've done numbers on some 40 or so players, 1901-Present. I need your help. IF you have observed or heard about a specific player who just had "smarts" on the bases ... while NOT being typical of the George Case, Rickey Henderson or Lou Brock models ... post the name[s] here. I'll try to work up maybe 40-50 more to see if I get a "profile" on them.
Grandpa's hearsay, Dad's observations and personal impressions are all welcome. Help!
