Beltran Through 30

Carlos Beltran has 250 career stolen bases through his age 30 season, which he just completed. That is the 69th all-time highest number for a player through his age 30 season. He also has 236 career homers, which is the 62nd all-time highest number for a player through his age 30 season. Beltran and Barry Bonds are the only two players in history in the top 70 on both those through-age-30 lists.

Barry Bonds had 292 homers through the 1995 season (his "age 30 season", as he was 30 years old on July 1 that year). 292 homers puts him 24th all-time in most career homers through an age 30 season. A-Rod is #1 all-time, with 464 homers through the 2006 season, which was his age 30 season.

Top 5 career homers through their age 30 season:
1. A-Rod 464
2. Griffey, Jr. 438
3. Foxx 429
4. Mantle 404
5. Eddie Mathews 399

Andruw Jones 368 (he just completed his age 30 season)
Vlad Guerrero 338 (2006 was his age 30 season)
Sammy Sosa 336
Manny Ramirez 310

Hank Aaron had 366 homers through his age 30 season and Babe Ruth had 309.
