Mays and McCovey are incorrect. Bonds and Henderson are right.
Hank Aaron should be on the list, as should Joe DiMaggio.

Hank Aaron: 3771 hits, 755 HR, 240 SB - short by 110 SB
Joe DiMaggio: 2214 hits, 361 HR, 30 SB - Joltin Joe wasn't a runner, also falls short in hits because of a shorter career
Neither is on the list. Both miss the SBs.

I think Jeter is probably a bit short on the steals.
How about Joe Morgan?
Craig Biggio?
I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.
Ah, give me something clever to say here.
Well, since no one is smart enough, here is the answer:
Rickey Henderson: 3055 hits, 297 HR, 1406 SB
Barry Bonds: 2935 hits, 762* HR, 514 SB
Craig Biggio: 3060 hits, 291 HR, 414 SB
Paul Molitor: 3319 hits, 234 HR, 504 SB
Joe Morgan: 2517 hits, 268 HR, 689 SB
Roberto Alomar: 2724 hits, 210 HR, 474 SB
When Johnny Damon is part of a select group that includes only Rickey Henderson, Barry Bonds, Craig Biggio, Paul Molitor, Joe Morgan and Roberto Alomar, that's not such a bad career even if he's only made the All-Star game twice and likely won't come close to making the Hall of Fame.
If he gets 3,000 hits, I think he at least gets close, though I don't think he's done enough to be a Hall of Famer. But some people will just look at the numbers.

I wouldnt write off Damon having no shot given who he is in the company of. Is he a long shot yes but he's in a group that 3 already are, 2 most certainly will eventually (unless baseball bans the "steroid babies"), and a guy who could be in given the right year.
If I would have had more time I would eventually gotten 4 of them. But Molitor? Really? I would have NEVER in a MILLION years come close to thinking of him as a Speed demon (granted I didnt get to see him play except really late in his career).
