Barry Bonds had a HR and a stolen base last night. The SB gives him 495 for his career, bringing him closer to the magic 500 milestone. The impressive thing about Bonds SB isn't just the magnitude, it's the success rate. Bonds has only been caught 140 times; that's a 77.95% SB percentage. That's 40th all-time among players with at least 120 steals. In their book, The Hidden Game of Baseball Palmer and Thorn calculated that the break even point for stolen bases was around 66.7% So not only did Bonds steal a high number of bases, he did it in a way that actually helped his team.
