Baseball Players with 200 Home Runs and 200 Stolen Bases

Even Before PEDs, Barry Bonds Combined Speed With Power As Well As Anyone To Play The Game

Yesterday, Sports List of the Day looked at the ultimate power-speed combo players in baseball history. These eight guys racked up at least 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases over their careers (with two actives still racking).

Today, let’s get comprehensive.

Expanding our parameters to a more forgiving plateau of 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases yields another 38 players.

These 46 are Major League Baseball‘s (mathematically) officially greatest at combining power with speed (and vice-versa).

Carlos Beltran and Players with 300 Home Runs and 300 Stolen Bases

Here’s a rather surprisingly short list with a couple surprises of its own.

Carlos Beltran is amongst the only eight players EVER in baseball history to achieve apparently the ultimate in combining speed and power: banging at least 300 career home runs and thieving 300 career stolen bases with it.

Beltran joins fellow active – and current teammate – Alex Rodriguez.

Roid rangers Barry Bonds and Rodriguez are one-two on this list (sorted by home runs), but they very possibly would have made this particular list without them anyway.

This is a recent thing. Seven of the eight players posting this double-double played sometime in the 1980’s or later. The only abstainer? Well, the great Willie Mays.

Most of these guys are power hitters with a secondary strength in stealing bases. Only journeymen Bobby Bonds (eight teams) and Steve Finley (eight teams, too) had more SBs than HRs.

	PLAYER	HR	SB	CAREER SPAN
1.	Barry Bonds	762	514	1986 – 2007
2.	Alex Rodriguez	678	323	1994 – Present
3.	Willie Mays	660	338	1951 – 1973
4.	Andre Dawson	438	314	1976 – 1996
5.	Carlos Beltran	380	311	1998 – Present
6.	Bobby Bonds	332	461	1968 – 1981

Top 20 Left-Handed Hitters with the Most Home Runs in Baseball History

Barry Bonds Hits Home Run No. 715 To Become The All-Time Lefty Leader

Let’s break up one of the all-time hallowed baseball rankings – career home runs – by side of the plate. First, lefties (and later we’ll check out the righties).

But today, it’s Barry Bonds‘ list, or if you’re not into PEDs, Babe Ruth‘s.

These are the top 20 left-handed hitters with the most homers, but there’s an issue. It’s not just Bonds. There’s Rafael Palmeiro and Jason Giambi, for sure – and likely several others in there who helped “contribute” to the Steroid Era.

So, what to do? What to do? I’ve got my opinions and suspicions. Some agree with the mainstream and others are flyers.

How about you?

Let’s do it this way. I’ve posted “the next 10,” helping you create your own top 20 in case you want to throw a few of these guys out of the picture.
