Funny stats. The Crayons stole a whopping 449 bases, by far ahead of any MLB team in history. (Some old-timey 1800s teams stole more, but those 19th Century stats are wacky).

Rickey Henderson stole 85 bases himself, and was caught 16 times. That's only worth about 1 WAR (he had 0.9 on the season), so aside from that he was a replacement level player. Stolen bases don't add much value it seems. That's not entirely what the Crayons are going for, but we do seem to have a lot of guys who can steal.
