Which Pirates players have had a 30+ SB season? MLB Immaculate Grid Answers September 6

Stealing bases isn't as common anymore, but today's MLB Immaculate Grid requires you to name a Pittsburgh Pirates player who nabbed 30 bases in a single season. That may require some digging, since not many players were stealing all that often before the bigger bases.

Barry Bonds is known for hitting home runs. He hit 73 in a season and has 762 in total in his famous career. Before he developed into the most fearsome hitter in major league baseball, though, he was also great at stealing bases. He played for the Pirates before the Giants, and he recorded 52 stolen bases in 1990. At the time of writing, 20% of the players had used his name here.

Starling Marte is a recent example. He recorded 47 stolen bases in 2016, before he was a member of the New York Mets. The Pirates slugger was a menace on the basepaths.

Here's who else achieved this feat with the Pirates:

• Omar Moreno, 1980
• Honus Wagner, 1903
• Frank Taveras, 1976
• Max Carey, 1916

Naturally, the older eras featured more stolen bases, so a lot of these answers are from a long time ago.
