According to the book Total Baseball, Fred Tenney stole first base in the early 1900s but I have found nothing documented to confirm that. I don't know that history has accurately recorded the first player to steal first base but certainly one of the first, if not the only player, to do it was Germany Schaefer who played with several teams in a career that spanned 1901-1918. The story goes that, during a game in 1908, he was on first and a man was on third when the double steal was called. Schaefer stole second but the catcher held on to the ball so the runner on third could not advance. On the next pitch Schaefer stole first base and again the catcher held onto the ball. On the third pitch Schaefer stole second again and this time drew a throw which allowed the runner on third to score.
The first player to hit 500 home runs was Babe Ruth(714) doing so in 1929. The 2nd person to hit 500 was Jimmie Foxx(534) in 1940 who is the second youngest player to ever do so behind only Alex Rodriguez(538*). The 1st National Leaguer to hit 500 Home runs was Mel Ott(511) doing so in 1945.

Only one -- Barry Bonds.
Willie Mays COULD have achieved the feat -- he led the league in steals four straight years -- but stealing bases was not a major offensive weapon during his years in baseball.
Mel Ott in 1945. He played his entire career with the New York Giants. Duke Snider of the Brooklyn Dodgers with 43.
