Max Carey enjoyed six seasons in which he hit over .300, but built a more lasting reputation as a superb
defensive outfielder and a successful base-stealer. The Pirates' great still holds several National League
records for fielding prowess and led the league in steals 10 times. In 1922, he approached perfection on the
base paths, stealing 51 bases in 53 attempts. In 1925 at age 35, Carey experienced his best season, hitting
.343 during the regular season and .458 in the World Series.
