The best two players I ever saw in person at hitting homers and stealing bases were Barry Bonds and Eric Davis. (Too young for Mays)

I can't even imagine what the two of them would do in these hitters parks with a pitch click and limited pick off attempts.

As for stolen bases ...you might just go ahead and Ricky Henderson, Lou Brock, and a few others on third every time they got on base, if they played with these rules.
