He led the league four times." It's also interesting to note that Anson's SB rating is 14 (out of 20) and only one point less than Billy Hamilton, who stole 636 more bases than Anson. Hamilton got credit (in our league) for only 274 because that's how many he stole while with the "Braves," but I wasn't expecting Anson's SB rating to be comparable. I also wonder how the lack of CS data affects the ratings. Either way, I think it will be interesting to see how it all turns out.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4807','Mike Lynch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4807','Mike Lynch','David Laurila wrote: \"Cap Anson, who I have slotted to lead off, had a career .393 OBP and finished in the top 10 in OBP 19 times.
