[1] North also led the American League in steals in 1976 with 75, at the time the second-highest in a season in franchise history, trailing only Eddie Collins' 81 in 1910 with what were then the Philadelphia Athletics.

As of 2012, only Rickey Henderson has stolen more bases for the Athletics, surpassing North's total three times, each with at least 100 steals: an even 100 in 1980, a still-standing Major League record 130 in 1982 and 108 in 1983.

In addition to stealing bases, North also utilized his speed in the field to lead American League outfielders three times in total chances per game, twice in putouts, and once each in assists and double plays.

North caught Brian Downing's fly ball and continued to the second-base bag to double up Dick Allen, who had been running on the play.

Former Dodgers teammate Dusty Baker invited North as an honorary coach for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game, played at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.
