- 1982 - Oakland’s Rickey Henderson steals his 100th base of the season in a 6 - 5 win over Seattle, tying the American League record he set last season and leaving him with 56 games to break Lou Brock’s single-season record of 118. Henderson is the first player ever to steal 100 bases twice since the modern definition of a stolen base was put in place.

No word on if Ramon Laureano comes up, but he’d certainly be deserving. Batting .296 with 13 home runs, 34 RBI, 11 stolen bases at Triple-A Nashville. Performed well in spring before breaking his hand.
