140+ years of Professional baseball....and our guy breaks the record.

Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Keep in mind he is going to lead two separate leagues in one year in bases stolen. That can't happen too often .
Wahoos should have hired Lou Piniella to heave second base after the record was broken.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Can't wait to watch him in a reds uniform for a very long time.what position does he play?
I can spell,I just can't type!!

For some perspective, the Miami Marlins lead the majors with SB as a team with 122.
