#6-89 Record Breaker-Vince Coleman



Just another feather in the cap of one of the most disappointing players I've ever seen. Blazing speed and he could get on base consistently-which might not sound like much but as the old saying goes "you can't steal first." I thought he would break Ricky Henderson's stolen bases in a season record and break the then career stolen base leader Lou Brock's record. He didn't. Lets see, the firecracker, the breaking of Doc Gooden's arm and his inability to hit once he left St. Louis which made him a useless leadoff hitter no matter what his speed. Because: You can't steal first base!
