How can you say that since caught stealing stats weren't kept consistantly until the 50's? The ones that were kept show league success around 60% or more. There are a few that I see that were around 57%, but I have not found one instance where SB% was 50% or less. I once did figure out that historically the success rate was 63% for all years I could find records for.
