First player to steal a base in 4 decades was?

13. That may be at least partly because...

He had so many walks, and the highest On Base Percentage in baseball history at .482. In at least one year, he had more walks than hits, and averaged nearly a walk per game, plus more than a hit per game. most of this against the "Williams shift".

The stolen bases across four decades is even more remarkable when one remembers that he only stole 24 bases in his career. Oddly enough, he was also caught stealing in four decades.

Quite an amazing career for a man who missed five seasons to military service.
