Mike LaValliere. 5 steals in 20 tries. I'm surprised he only weighed 190 pounds - he was a pretty rotund guy.

In his younger days, he was an impressive fielder. However, in his later days, he had trouble getting to first to field a throw from the other side of the diamond. Mike Scioscia. Tom LaSorda once said something about Scioscia getting the purple light when he was on base.....meaning, if you take off, I'll kill ya. >> Stay informed about: slowest baseball player

Ron Hassey. 14 steals in 14 years (career high of three in 1982.) He's my pick this side of Cecil Fielder.

Slightly OT, but the slowest runners that are back-to-back in the lineup have got to be Edgar Martinez and John Olerud. Among active players, I'd have to go with Edgar. -- "When you argue with a fool be sure he is not similarly occupied." >> Stay informed about: slowest baseball player
