Most Stolen Bases, 20+ GIDP in a Single Season

Although the number of double plays a player grounds into is considered more a function of playing time than "skill," the general perception is that players that ground into a lot of double plays are slow. It seems to go against common sense that a player than steals a lot of bases can also ground into a lot of double plays. After all, if you're so speedy, why can't you beat out a relay throw? With that in mind, I give you today's list.
