For an offense that has scored in just two of the past 29 innings, the Cardinals are succeeding in one category at a historical clip.
Their .833 percentage on stolen base attempts (55 of 66) would be the highest in their history if it continues. According to Post-Dispatch research, going back exactly 100 years and with the help of Retrosheet, the Cardinals’ highest percentage for a full season is 1988 when they stole 234 times in 298 attempts for a .785 percentage. Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith was 57 of 66 that year, Willie McGee 41 of 47 and Vince Coleman not quite as efficient but still stealing 81 out of 108.
