| biography:
| Baseball player, born in Chicago, Illinois, USA. An outfielder for the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees (1979), he was known for his sometimes highstrung temperament and his always prolific base-stealing. His 130 stolen bases in 1982 set a new major league record, and in 1991 he broke Lou Brock's lifetime record (938). A solid ·290 hitter with power, he was one of the game's greatest lead-off hitters. |
