In the modern era, Ty Cobb set a single - season mark of 96 stolen bases in 1915 that lasted until it was broken by Maury Wills with 104 in 1962 . A new modern mark was set by Lou Brock with 118 in 1974, and again by Rickey Henderson with 130 in 1982 . Henderson and Vince Coleman are the only players to record three 100 - steal seasons in the modern era . Coleman is the only player to do it three seasons in a row, much less in the first three season of his career, as well as the only player to record 100 steals as a rookie . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Player </Th> <Th> SB </Th> <Th> Team </Th> <Th> Season </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Hugh Nicol </Td> <Td> 138 </Td> <Td> Cincinnati Red Stockings (AA) </Td> <Td> 1887 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rickey Henderson </Td> <Td> 130 </Td> <Td> Oakland Athletics </Td> <Td> 1982 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Arlie Latham </Td> <Td> 129 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals (AA) </Td> <Td> 1887 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lou Brock </Td> <Td> 118 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Charles Comiskey </Td> <Td> 117 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals (AA) </Td> <Td> 1887 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> John Montgomery Ward </Td> <Td> 111 </Td> <Td> New York Giants </Td> <Td> 1887 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Billy Hamilton </Td> <Td> 111 </Td> <Td> Philadelphia Phillies </Td> <Td> 1891 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Vince Coleman </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals </Td> <Td> 1985 (r) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Arlie Latham </Td> <Td> 109 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals (AA) </Td> <Td> 1888 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Vince Coleman </Td> <Td> 109 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rickey Henderson </Td> <Td> 108 </Td> <Td> Oakland Athletics </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Vince Coleman </Td> <Td> 107 </Td> <Td> St. Louis Cardinals </Td> <Td> 1986 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Maury Wills </Td> <Td> 104 </Td> <Td> Los Angeles Dodgers </Td> <Td> 1962 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Hugh Nicol </Td> <Td> 103 </Td> <Td> Cincinnati Red Stockings (AA) </Td> <Td> 1888 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jim Fogarty </Td> <Td> 102 </Td> <Td> Philadelphia Phillies </Td> <Td> 1887 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Billy Hamilton </Td> <Td> 102 </Td> <Td> Philadelphia Phillies </Td> <Td> 1890 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rickey Henderson </Td> <Td> 100 </Td> <Td> Oakland Athletics </Td> <Td> 1980 </Td> </Tr> </Table>
