You don't seem to understand how wildly different the game is now. On base % = Stolen base opportunities. Put Ricky in with today's pitching and see how much he gets on base. Another thing to consider is this isn't a celebration of just stolen bases. It's HR + Stolen bases. HR's don't allow for Stolen base opportunities, so the more HR's you hit, the less opportunities you have for stolen bases. Ricky wouldn't break 80 in today's baseball. For his time, undisputably the 🐐. No question.
