Moreno only got into six games in 1975, going 1-for-6 and stealing his very first base, but he would go on to steal another 486, including 71 and 77 in 1978 and 1979 respectively to lead the league.
Funny enough, the next season, in 1980, he would steal a career high 96, yet fall one stolen base short of the lead when Ron LeFlore of the Montreal Expos stole 97 in the “year of the steal”.
In 1979 he would collect 196 hits for the eventual World Champs, yet bat only .282, a career-high for him, but because of his league-leading 696 at-bats, he fell far short of the .300 mark.
Nevertheless he would put together a nice 12-year career, batting .252 with 1257 hits over 4992 at-bats in 1382 games between 1975 and 1987.
One thing that stood out for me as I was writing this: he never once made an All-Star team. For some reason that surprised me. Go Figure.
