As a counterpoint to Torkelson being thrown out at second I asked if Babe Ruth stole many bases
AI Overview
Yes, Babe Ruth stole a significant number of bases for his era. He is credited with 123 stolen bases over the course of his career. He also stole home 10 times, according to the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
While not known for being a particularly efficient basestealer (meaning he wasn't always successful at stealing bases), he was an aggressive one. He stole 10 or more bases in a season five times, including in 1930 when he was 35 years old. He even stole second and then third in Game Two of the 1921 World Series.
