Sorry Julie, but Chipper didn't make it in the stolen bases category. The only one I can find is Reggie_Sanders. He had been an Atlanta Brave but was with the Royals when he hit his 300th HR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Sanders

Larry Wayne "Chipper" Jones, Jr. (born April 24, 1972) is an American professional baseball third baseman with the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball. Although initially a shortstop, he has spent most of his career as the starting third baseman for the Braves. In 2002 and 2003, Jones primarily played left field, before returning to third base in 2004.
Jones debuted in 1993, and has played his entire career with the Atlanta Braves. Chipper won the 1999 National League Most Valuable Player Award, as well as the 1999 and 2000 National League Silver Slugger Award for third basemen. He currently holds the Braves team record for career on base percentage (.406), and on July 5, 2007, he passed Dale Murphy for third place on the Braves all-time career home run list.
In his career, through the 2011 season, Jones is a .304 hitter with 454 home runs, 1,455 walks, and 1,561 RBI in 2,387 games. He is behind only Eddie Murray on the all-time switch hitters career RBI list. He is considered one of the game's best all-around hitters, and one of the best switch hitters in the history of the game.[1][2] He is the only switch hitter in Major League Baseball history to have a .300+ career (.304 at the end of the 2011 season) batting average and 400 or more home runs. As of the 2012 season, Jones is the most senior active MLB player to have spent his entire career with one club, playing with the Braves for 19 consecutive seasons.[3]
Many baseball writers anticipate Jones will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame after he retires.[4][5][6]
