Reds farmhand Billy Hamilton has 104 stolen bases this season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Now it all makes sense. There had to be something that goads Billy Hamilton into doing everything fast. He talks quicker than John Moschitta Jr.. He eats with breeziness that would make Joey Chestnut blush. And when he runs – well, let's just say Billy Hamilton may run the bases faster than any baseball player in history, Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders included.

"It's the Dew," Hamilton said.

Reds farmhand Billy Hamilton might be the fastest player ever; has 104 stolen bases this year - Yahoo! Sports

He's going to be playing for Pensacola soon, which means he'll be outside Knoxville playing against the Smokies at the end of the month. I think I might try to make a game or two in that series.

That's insane. I saw Vince Coleman in A ball steal 145 bases, but 100 at mid season is in Nother stratosphere.

20 or so if I recall correctly. Apparently he's still learning how to steal bases amazingly enough.

There is a story that a LF lost a ball it the sun, and Billy ran in down in the outfield close to the warning track. Lol
