Bob, it was Ken Williams.

An aside… Bobby Bonds was nearly the first 40-40 player.  He had 39 HRs and 43 SB’s in 1973.  If he had not been robbed of an HR at Candlestick by a Reds OF who made a spectacular catch, he would have been the first, an achievement that was accomplished by Canseco in 1988.

I always liked Mays comment - If I knew it was important, I’ve have done it.  

Cesar Geronimo?
