Keep in mind he is going to lead two separate leagues in one year in bases stolen. That can't happen too often

Re: Hamilton broke the stolen bases record!!
Wahoos should have hired Lou Piniella to heave second base after the record was broken.

Re: Hamilton broke the stolen bases record!!
The Reds have the fastest runner (Hamilton) and fastest pitcher (Chapman).
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Re: Hamilton broke the stolen bases record!!
For some perspective, the Miami Marlins lead the majors with SB as a team with 122.

Re: Hamilton broke the stolen bases record!!
From the NY Times' Bats baseball blog comes this piece on stolen bases in the majors these days and an examination of Hamilton in that different game.
