Rajai Davis on the art of stealing bases | MLB.com

Good stuff here. From Jordan Bastian:

As a 37-year-old veteran, Davis takes great pride in doing things on a diamond that you’d expect to see from much younger players. At the top of the list is stealing bases.

When Davis gets on, his mentality is that he’s going. During his time in an Oakland uniform, Davis spent a lot of time with all-time stolen base king Rickey Henderson, getting to know the legend and picking his brain about the art of stealing bags.
