The other day, Alex Rodriguez hit a homer and stole 3 bases in the same game, becoming the 3rd player to achieve the feat this season.

This season has seen the most such occurrences since 1991.
Here are all the guys with multiple such games in their career since 1954:

No surprises here as these guys all had tons of speed and at least some power.
Here are all the guys to do it with more than 3 SB:

Finally, since 1954, nobody has ever hit more than 1 HR with at least 3 stolen bases. That's not too surprising...tough to steal bases when you're hitting round-trippers!

The Bonifacio game was on Florida's opening day. He we are in the season's last week, and Bonifacio has yet to hit another home run (and the one that he did hit was an inside-the-parker, not that that makes it any less impressive).
