Rafael Furcal sets Atlanta record for career stolen bases
On Wednesday, Rafael Furcal stole his 44th base of the season, a career-high for him and a total that leads the National League in that department. That theft, the 187th of his career, also put him in the record books for the most career stolen bases by an Atlanta Brave. Otis Nixon previously held the Atlanta career mark with 186 steals. Herman Long, who played for the Boston Braves from 1980 to 1902, holds the franchise record with 431 stolen bases.
