In 1939, took a few years off in the 40’s and then dominated in the 50’s. He played in 1960 and had, I believe, 2 steals. Also hit a home run in his final at bat.
He only had 24 for his career, but spread them
over more than 20 years and in four decades.

(And you were right, three other players including Raines, also did it; I thought Williams was the only one.)
