That would certain apply to Vince Coleman---why would he take his chances trying for second with the ball in the outfield, when he could wait a minute and steal second with impuinity?
I just checked out the slowest base-cloggers of their eras (as I recall them):
Ken Reitz 3.7
Rube Walker 3.6
It might be more revealing to use 2B and 3B together, since the distinction between a double and a triple is often just the speed of the runner and/or the game circumstance, and your ratio penalizes the runner that goes all the way to third.
