Throwback jerseys are great, but that is a promotion for a day. Billy Hamilton plays throwback baseball, every day.
Take Friday, for example. He led off the game with a bunt single, took second when the other team tried to pick him off and made an error, and stole third. In the third inning, he walked and stole second. In the seventh inning, he singled and stole second. Maury Wills would have been proud.
Hamilton, the center fielder for the Cincinnati Reds, leads the major leagues with 57 stolen bases. The Angels as a team have stolen 48 bases, the Dodgers 37.
