Well Hank Aaron has 750+ home runs alone, so if he had 200ish steals he should be on the list.

Joe Morgan

My other guess would be Billy Hamilton, who’s in the top-5 in career stolen bases.  Since the other four (Henderson, Brock, Cobb, and Raines) top base stealers are on the list, I would think that if he hit any number of home runs that might be enough to get him into the 950+ combined that would be needed.

So speed, power, and longevity wins.  Maybe Joe Morgan?  

Both Aaron and Morgan are correct. The list looks like this:

1. Rickey Henderson 1,703 (297 HRs and 1,406 steals)
2. Barry Bonds          1,276 (762 HRs and 514 steals)
3. Lou Brock             1,087 (149 HRs and 938 steals)
4. Alex Rodriguez     1,025 (696 HRs and 329 steals)
5. Ty Cobb                1,014 (117 HRs and 897 steals)
6. Willie Mays              998 (660 HRs and 338 steals)
7. Hank Aaron             995 (755 HRs and 240 steals)
8. Tim Raines              978 (170 HRs and 808 steals)
9. Joe Morgan             957 (268 HRs and 689 steals)

And if I had not arbitrarily limited the list to years since 1900, Billy Hamilton would be 10th on the list with a total of 954 (40 HRs and 914 steals).

You guys got that one quickly! Well done!
