Rickey Henderson: Rickey Henderson has 1,406 stolen bases in his MLB career. He is the first player in MLB history to have stolen 1,000 bases in his career. Following Henderson is Lou Brock, who has 938 stolen bases; Billy Hamilton is third all-time. Henderson's number was stolen seven times. The most recent theft was in 2013 when Henderson went straight from retirement to play for the Yokohama BayStars of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league. His wife filed a police report saying the couple had been broken into but no one was arrested. In addition to being stolen, several home plates have been hit by pitches and are therefore not available for use as base-runners. One example is Joe DiMaggio's plate in New York City's Yankee Stadium. Another is Bobby Thomson's plate in Cincinnati's Crosley Field. Both men were hit by pitches that they failed to touch down before reaching the dugout, causing them to be automatically awarded bases on balls. In fact, there are only two other players who have more than 100 stolen bases without being credited with any caught stealing: Barry Bonds and Ty Cobb. Bonds and Cobb both had over 1000 games played in their careers. However, only two other players have more than 100 steals without being cuffed: Pete Rose and Lou Boudreau.
