      Yes. Bonds did it four times.

          Good call, but Bobby never had 100 BBs in a season.

                  ARod's flirted with it in the past. His lone season with 100 BBs was 2000, but he only had 15 SBs that year.

                    I know Willie Mays never did it because he never got 100 walks. Mickey Mantle I suppose could be one but I don't think he ever got 25 stolen bases.

                    Joe Morgan might be one.

                      All solid guesses who possessed the necessary talents. But none are correct.

                      Here's a quick hint for everybody to narrow down your searches / guesses... All hints will be in white text so as not to spoil for those who don't want to see.

                        I know Mike Schmidt walked alot but he had that one year in the 70's where he was almost a 30-30 man he's a possible.

                        I'm almost positive Jeff Bagwell did it.

                            Schmidt is a no... Bagwell did it twice - good job!

                            Both good guesses, but not quite.

                              1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)
