With Bonds stealing a base tonight, and getting very close to 500 (I think that was #498) he will be the first career 500HR/500SB MLB’er. That got me thinking, who else has even come close to that? Is there a 400/400 person? I started digging through stats to see what I could find…here’s some numbers from others: Career HRs/SBs Willie Mays: 660/338 Bobby Bonds: 332/461 Jose Canseco: 462/200 Rickey Henderson: 295/1403 Am I forgetting anyone obvious? Is there a 400/400 person? If not, any other notable people that should be listed as “also-rans” to Barry’s 500/500 milestone? ---

Hank Aaron - 755/240 Andre Dawson - 438/314 Dave Winfield - 465/223 Sammy Sosa - 505/233 After Mays and the Bonds’, it’s pretty slim pickings. Dawson is the next closest to 400/400 ---

Last year, Alfoso Soriano hit 39 HR & had 41 SB. Shoud he keep up that unlikely pace, after 13 seasons, he would have 507 HR and 533 SB. Possibly more, if he remains healthy. Unlikely, yes, but in 20 years, we may be talking about AS as a 600/600 man.
