You what's pretty amazing? Encarnacion has stolen 61 career bases in 74 attempts, an 82% success rate. So he's a better base stealer than Rickey Henderson (81%), though not as good as Tim Raines (85%). I have to reconsider his HOF case.

If you'd asked me, I would have said "That's been done before" (and probably would have proceeded to name one of the '70s Mets teams).
