Did you know?
Billy Hamilton has set minor league records and has made a big impression upon his call-up to the Major Leagues this month.

Did you know that Billy Hamilton is number 3 on the all-time stolen base list?

1. Rickey Henderson - 1406
2. Lou Brock - 938
3. Billy Hamilton - 912

Not sure if you're joking around?

The Billy Hamilton on the all-time list is from the late 1800s

Yeah, I knew that couldn't be the same person. I didn't even know that there was another Billy Hamilton. I just knew that there was no way on Earth that the Billy Hamilton call-up could have that many stolen bases.

It's no joke.

Billy Hamilton played for the Kansas City Blues, Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Braves from 1888 - 1901. He led his league in stolen bases five times and was a two time batting champion. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1961.

If someone asks you about the speedy Billy Hamilton, make sure you know which one they are talking about. Smile
