A Different View on Stealing - These Guys Should Stick to Stealing Some Kellogg's Cereal

I was looking for a different angle on stolen bases.  I searched for players from the Kellogg's era who were not adept at stealing bases.  Maybe their stats will make people realize that stolen bases aren't for everyone.

Jim Sundberg stole 20 bases in his career.  He was caught 37 times.  That percentage probably doesn't make it a worthwhile idea.

His card even shows that he's not fast.  He needs a cane just to kneel down.  Maybe that's not a cane and just a bat, but let's pretend.   Good thing he won Gold Gloves all the time to make up for his lack of speed. 

Wille Horton also stole 20 bases in his career.  He was caught 38 times, so his percentage was a bit worse.

Horton ranks 109th in career homers and 110th in career double plays grounded into.  He certainly never seemed fast to me.  I heard that his last caught stealing occurred in the annual Father-Son game when he was a Tiger.   He always lobbied for replay after that 9-year-old girl threw him out.
