@SamTheGeek @cathygellis and here's where i chew some bubble gum, stare out at the horizon, spit on the field, and say in my wizened voice, "well, sam, stealing is about more than speed."

@mergesort @mmasnick @cathygellis 31 stolen in 48 attempts and a World Series ring doesn’t exactly sound unsuccessful.

@SamTheGeek @mmasnick @cathygellis Well 31/48 is decently below league average, but it’s true that you can’t beat a ring.
