Question
Barry Bonds is 1st on the all time homerun list and 32nd on the all time stolen base list. AMAZING or what? How many times did he homer and steal a base in the same game? Also, who are the players on the top ten list for total number of games hitting a homer and stealing a base in the same game?

Answer
Hi Steve,

 Here's the list of the top ten guys with a HR and SB in same game. (My data runs only back to 1954. So in all likelihood, Willie Mays would be the third name on the list if we had his numbers from 1951-53.)

1. Barry Bonds         102                
2. Rickey Henderson     87       
3. Bobby Bonds          61         
4. Joe Morgan           60        
5. Alex Rodriguez       59           
6. Willie Mays          58            
7. Cesar Cedeno         48               
8. Larry Walker         42               
8. Tim Raines           42          
8. Carlos Beltran       42              
8. Jeff Bagwell         42            
9. Darryl Strawberry    40                
10. Kirk Gibson          39                
10. Jose Canseco         39
