AboutTom Schott Expertise I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. I don't do off-the-field stuff.

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
