This is a success rate of 81%, which is exactly the same as his overall 81% success rate. But a rate like Rickey's in MLB not a functional possiblity for in SOM. The one base Rickey wasn't effective at stealing was home. He went 4-8. But at least he didn't try it very often.
The Quora post pointed me to the fact that Baseball Reference has an advanced stats section on "Baserunning & Misc States" This gives the steal rates for the various bases, at least for players who performed after the leagues started recordig caught stealing. That's where I found Rickey's stealing stats for specific bases. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/henderi01-bat.shtml#all_batting_baserunning
Stealing 2nd, definitely. Still third, sometimes. Stealing home, never!
