Retrosheet data splitting players' stolen bases out by base only goes back to 1954, so early twentieth-century basestealers like Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Clyde Milan, and Bob Bescher are unfortunately ignored. It is likely at least one of them (and/or another player) belongs somewhere on the above list.
* - the modern definition of the stolen base did not come into being until 1898. For more information about the change in definition over time, the wikipedia entry on the stolen base rule's evolution is here.

Wow, Rudy Law (in '83) almost never stole anything but 2nd. That seems odd for someone with so much speed.
This should have generated many more comments.Stealing third is way overrated(except when facing a pitcher who bounces a lot of his pitches).
