Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Steve Finley) insists that he doesn't do anything different. For whatever reason, the career numbers would bear out that he struggles very early in the season. The career numbers would also bear out that if you're patient, you stick with him. He'll figure it out and he'll put up the numbers you expect out of him by the end of the season." - Manager Bob Brenly

Steve Finley hit the three-hundredth home run of his career on June 14, 2006 . The sixth lead-off homer of his career came off a Claudio Vargas 2-2 pitch that sailed over the right field wall in Chase Field. Finley already had already collected 316 career stolen bases on his online baseball card, making him the sixth member of the elite 300 Home Runs / 300 Stolen Bases Club, joining Barry Bonds , Bobby Bonds , Andre Dawson , Willie Mays , and Reggie Sanders ! Since Finley, only two additional players have made it to the 300-300 Club — Carlos Beltran & Alex Rodriguez !

Did you know that when Steve Finley hit a league leading ten triples in 2003 ( Top 25 ), he became the oldest player (38) in Major League history to lead either league in triples? Too easy?

Did you know that when Steve Finley hit twelve triples in 2006 , he became the first player over 40 years old to hit more than eight triples in a season since Honus Wagner hit seventeen triples in 1915 ?

On August 16, 1996 , Steve Finley homered in the bottom of the first inning during a San Diego Padres game, versus the New York Mets , being played in Monterry, Mexico. In doing so, Finley became the first player in Major League history to hit a regular season home run in three different countries, having already collected several four-baggers in both the United States of American and Canada.
