Typo on "Brian Johnson /2"
Some interesting other observations...
Tom Pagnozzi and Ramon Hernandez hold the bragging rights for ALWAYS throwing out Rickey, each having 2 Rickey caught stealings without allowing a Rickey stolen base. Rickey was never 0/3 or worse against any catcher.
On the other side of the coin, Greg Myers NEVER threw out Rickey in 13 attempts. I would give Andy Allanson and Mickey Tettleton the dishonorable mention prizes as each only threw Rickey out once in 24 attempts.
