And I didn't even cheat. I might have checked my work a little (wondered about Mattingly, but he's a hundred wins away).

Alex Rodriguez is correct -- 696 homers, 329 steals

Bobby Bonds is correct -- 332 homers, 461 steals

Not Willie Davis -- 182 homers, 398 steals

Not Mantle -- 536 homers, 153 steals

Not Morgan -- 268 homers, 689 steals

Not Raines -- 170 homers, 808 steals

So far, four of the eight players with 300 HRs and 300 steals have been identified -- Mays, Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds.

Of the other four, one is a Hall of Famer, MVP, and multiple Gold Glove winning outfielder, who played mostly for two National League teams from the 1970s to the 1990s.

One is an outfielder who played from the 1990s to the 2010s, spending roughly half of his career in each league. He was a 9-time All Star and a Rookie of the Year. He has been on the Hall of Fame ballot and didn't made it, but did well enough to suggest that he could make it eventually.

The other two guys were decent players, but definitely nowhere near Hall of Fame caliber. They are both outfielders who played from the roughly 1990 to the late 2000s. Both played mostly in the National League. Both bounced around to play for several different teams, with one of them spending more time with the Reds than anywhere else, and the other spending more time with Arizona than anywhere else. Each of them spent one year with the Giants in the 2000s.

Reggie Sanders is correct -- 305 homers, 304 steals

Steve Finley is correct -- 304 homers, 320 steals

Carlos Beltran is correct -- 435 homers, 312 steals

Along with Mays, Rodriguez, Bobby Bonds, and Barry Bonds, that's all 8 of them. Well done!

I was a backup catcher for the Giants in 1979. At the home opener I hit a 2 run HR in the bottom of the 9th to win it. It was one of my 2 HR’s that year.

Who am I?
