September marketing idea #3: Race for the 20th Stolen Base

Without looking it up, could you name the last Giant to steal 20 bags in a season?

Hmmm, well, no. He’s not really stealing the plastic bag in this picture — he’s posing as a wizard. Also, this isn’t about stealing plastic bags... I’m talking about bases. Stolen bases.

If you thought Ángel Pagán, you are wrong! It was Hunter Pence with 22 back in 2013 — quelle surprise! For a team that prides itself on defense, pitching, high contact offense with savvy baserunning, the Giants aren’t really all that great at stealing bases.
