130 – Rickey Henderson, Oakland Athletics (1982)

Since the merger of the American and National Leagues in 1901, Henderson also holds the major league single-season stolen base record with 130 in 1982, besting Brock’s 118 in 1974.

During his breathtaking campaign, Henderson had multiple steals in 34 different games, including three times with four.

It marked the second of Henderson’s three seasons over a four-year span in which he reached triple-digit stolen bases (1980, ’82 and ’83). The only other players with three 100 or more seasons did so consecutively: Billy Hamilton (1889, Kansas City Cowboys; 1890 and ’91, Philadelphia Phillies) and Vince Coleman (1985-87, St. Louis Cardinals).
