>The Splendid Splinter was one of only three men EVER to steal a base in four different decades. And he wasn't even well known for his speed on the paths, was he??!

Speed? Hardly. He stole 24 bases in 19 seasons played in the major leagues. But he achieved "four decades" because the first season was 1939 and the last was 1960. Not many have even played in four separate decades.
