Who was the fastest MLB player ever around the bases?

I listened to the Cubs win over the Marlins last night, and Pete Crow-Armstrong his an inside the park home run, circling the bases in 14+ seconds. Pat Hughes asked his producer who had done it the fastest, and was a little shocked they only had records going back to 2015, and Byron Buxton has the two fastest times in. circling the bases since then.
It got me wondering, why can't they review video footage and get a solid time down for some older players, and who would you just guess was the fastest? Ron Coomer on the broadcast crew went with Willie Wilson. What about Deion Sanders? I'd also throw out Omar Moreno. Ichiro? It isn't just about the raw speed, it's about efficiency in rounding the bases, too.
Throw out some names, HBOT.

It’s also spreading morphing into something that targets more than Trump, according to a column at National Review.
Now, the report said, it centers on Trump supporter and billionaire Elon Musk, as an “Elon Musk Derangement Syndrome.”

“Democratic lawmakers and pundits are increasingly peddling a conspiracy that Musk is the ‘shadow’ president. (The hypocrisy of accusing Trump of having a shadow president after four years of President Biden’s ‘leadership’ is lost on them, apparently.)” the report said. “The narrative picked up speed last week after Musk, the incoming co-chair of the newly-created ‘Department of Government Efficiency,’ was a vocal leader of efforts to trim the fat from a 1,500-page spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.”

NYC protesters call for “Global Intifada” hours after terrorist attack in NO.

We’re sending you back to Europe, you white b–ches,” one female demonstrator wearing a keffiyeh shouted at counter-protesters outside the event, video posted to social media shows. “Go back to Europe! Go back to Europe,” she repeated.

“2024 was a year of struggle against the crime of Zionism,” one speaker shouts through a megaphone in the heart of the Big Apple.

The crowd also chanted, “We will honor all our martyrs.”

The demonstration happened just hours after a suspected terrorist, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, plowed a pickup truck bearing an ISIS flag into New Year’s Eve revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 14 people.

Jabbar, 42, was shot dead by cops in a gunfight. Three improvised pipe bombs were found nearby in the tourist-drawing French Quarter, including one in Jabbar’s truck.
