Sophie Kurys stole 201 bases in 1946 while playing in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League, has died. She was 87. Kurys' mark of 201 steals — in 203 attempts — was recognized in a recent exhibit by the Hall of Fame. Cincinnati Reds prospect Billy Hamilton set the minor league mark last year with 155. Rickey Henderson holds the modern major league record with 130.  And she set that stealing record in a skirt! that meant when she slid into 2nd she did it with bare legs!
