\"\"<\/a>With\u00a03 months until baseball in Chicago returns, I thought it would be interesting to look at the all time rankings in both offensive and defensive categories for all iterations of the current 30 teams for the 833 games I\u2019ve identified that I have attended. After a brief hiatus for the holidays, we continue today back on the offensive side of the ball with stolen bases.<\/p>\n

Based on the raw numbers, the White Sox and Cubs are far and away the leaders in this category, as they are far and away the teams I\u2019ve seen the most. When you adjust the numbers per game, the California and Anaheim versions of the Angels and the Devil Rays\u00a0jump to the top\u00a0of the heap.\u00a0 The White Sox fall to the bottom of the middle third and the Cubs are squarely towards the low end, with less than 1 SB every other game.\u00a0 The Braves are the worst team that I have seen somewhat often, at less than .3 SB per game, while the Miami incarnation of the Marlins have yet to steal a base in a game I have attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n
