This is what I posted on the beta forums during testing in the spring (after running a long-term sim from 1901-2012):

Maury Wills:

SB: 714 (sim) - 586 (real)
CS: 458 (sim) - 208 (real)

In the sim, he was CS at least 29 times in 10 different seasons (twice exceeding 50 CS). In real life, he was CS at least 29 times just once (31, in 1965). The best base stealers in OOTP get caught too often.

IRL, nobody was CS in a single season more than 42 times. That was the all-time high. In this sim, 100 players were CS in a single season 44 times or more. The all-time high was 68. Granted, most of these were in the deadball era -- but still, they far surpassed the CS leaders IRL.
