The ‘MLB stolen base leaders’ quiz

In his second year as a major leaguer, Cincinnati Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz is nearly on pace to do something we haven’t seen in almost three decades. The 22-year-old shortstop has 31 stolen bases in his first 56 games, putting him on pace to finish a few steals short of 100. The last time an MLB player reached the century mark in steals came way back in 1987 when Vince Coleman had an eye-popping 109. De Le Cruz will need to pick things up a bit if he wants to reach triple-digit swipes, but even if he doesn’t, he has already established himself as one of the preeminent speedsters of the modern era.

Which brings us to today’s quiz of the day. In honor of De La Cruz’s prolific thievery, we want to see how many of the league leaders since 1987 you can name in five minutes. Good luck!
