The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
 to go. This is an individual record, so I thought we could use jersey numbers of famous base thieves from around the league. Brisco |

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
 This was an attempt at a Vince Coleman (#29) picture. Can someone tell how to do this right? |

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
 Ok... I fell behind here... but you try and find a great base stealer with uniform numbers 26 and 23!  I should have added former Reds Cesar Cedeno at 28, however.

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
Official Countdown trivia question of the day:
How many times has Billy Hamilton led the majors in steals for the season? (No cheating by looking it up) Side note... I am very conflicted with Billy's surge of six solen bases in the last three days. He only needs 21 to break the record, 20 to tie it. At this rate he will be there in a week, but I really want him to wait until the 24th. On that day the Wahoos start of 5 game stretch in Jackson, MS and you better believe I will be there every night just to watch him. |

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
I am really hoping he does it the first game of the last home series vs Tennessee.

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
Has a player ever led 2 different minor leagues in any batting category? Hamilton currently is tied for 8th in the Southern League in SB.

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
I can't see Hamilton stealing enough to win the SL SB crown. He has 21 so far and the leader has 39. The Blue Wahoos only have 27 games left. So unless a few guys in the mid to high 30's in steals get hurt or promoted all at the same time, it just isn't going to happen.

The odds say Billy will not catch him or the other leaders, but it is certainly within striking distance. (Throw in the fact that teh #1 and #2 each have only one SB in their last 9 games and it starts to look even more attainable. Of course if Billy reverts to his Bakersfield SB rate, he will blow by both of them and have 55 at seasons end. |

Re: The Official Billy Hamilton SB Record Countdown
Coleman's record is 145; Hamilton has 125 stolen bases; and the Blue Wahoos have 27 games left. If Hamilton plays every game, he's on pace to get 31.8 more stolen bases, which would bring him to 156. Things are looking good. *knocks on wood*
