The 16.47M Babe is batting leadoff with 25 stolen bases and 21 games to go. He already has 50 homers. Stolen bases is set to normal, don't really want to turn on the aggressive with this team. Mmm...

You could have the #2 hitter in line-up set to hit and run: "More" in hitter preferences...that might give the Babe more SB attempts..?

Just had Rickey H go 40-60, but I suspect that’s not so rare for him.

I wonder if in the future, with the right settings and ballparks, this 16.47M Babe could actually be a 60-40 man......

So I turned Babe on to aggressive stealing, the team at aggressive, then set almost all the other players to do not steal, because it's not a stealing type team. And Musial at hit and run, as he's batting behind Ruth in both lefty and righty pitchers. Experimental. We'll see.... :shock:

Stuck on 26 steals despite those tweaks.

With his steal rating, for him to actually steal 40 bases, he'd end up getting caught stealing at least 30 times. Seems like a waste.

He got his 30th last night -- 30 stolen bases (8 caught steals), 53 homers. 8-)
