Today’s Sports Stat: June 21, 2018

Back on June 16 in a game versus the Philadelphia Phillies, Ryan Braun stole a base, the 200th of his career. In doing so, Braun became only the 24th player in Major League history to have 300 career home runs and 200 career stolen bases.

There are a lot of surprising names on this list of two dozen (and some names that surprisingly are not on it). Here are the 24 players:

Player, Home Runs-Stolen Bases

Barry Bonds, 762-514
Hank Aaron, 755-240
Alex Rodriguez, 696-329
Willie Mays, 660-338
Sammy Sosa, 609-234
Frank Robinson, 586-224
Reggie Jackson, 563-228
Gary Sheffield, 509-253
Dave Winfield, 465-223
Jose Canseco, 462-200
Jeff Bagwell, 449-202
Andre Dawson, 438-314
Carlos Beltran, 435-312
Alfonso Soriano, 412-289
Joe Carter, 396-231
Larry Walker, 383-230
Don Baylor, 338-285
Daryl Strawberry, 335-221
Bobby Bonds, 332-461
Ron Gant, 321-243
George Brett, 317-201
Ryan Braun, 310-200
Reggie Sanders, 305-304
Steve Finley, 304-320

Who might join this above list in the future? Well, here are nine active players who currently have 150 career home runs and 150 stolen bases.

Curtis Granderson, 325-152
Matt Kemp, 271-183
Hanley Ramirez, 269-281
Chase Utley, 259-153
Ian Kinzler, 244-232
David Wright, 242-196
Mike Trout, 224-178
Andrew McCutcheon, 211-176
Ian Desmond, 154-165

It’s interesting to note that of the nine players above, all are in their 30’s except to Trout, who is 26.
