He played for nine MLB teams " the Athletics, Yankees, Padres, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels, Mariners and Blue Jays " throughout his 25-year career. He led the American League in steals 12 times, including three seasons over 100 bases, and finished his career with a record 1,406 stolen bases, earning him the nickname "The Man of Steal." His 2,295 runs scored are an MLB record to this day. |
