F'kn incredible wasn't it....now those are the epitome of hitters.....

With Tony Gwynn as #43rd on the all time, least amount of K's per
AB's....all others are in the top 40 for least K's per At Bats....less Buckner who is 46th or 47th on the all time list.


I know Rick was fortunate to watch Wee Willie, back in the day, did
you ever get his autograph Rick, to go along with your collection of
autographs, your best I've been show was that Cleopatra one on papyrus
scrolls.....Noah's auto on stone engravings, and a wooden strip of the
Ark....LOL,

I didn't do the math but I think Keeler's % was lower then Sewell's

Sewell = 2226 - 114

Keeler = 2932 - 136

You are right Rick, the stats I'm looking at don't count the dead ball era....why I don't know, but IMO ya' gotta count the dead ball era....Contact is contact, regardless of era. a dead ball or live ball era.

Both should be considered, nice point out..........!

Damned coke ruined my effing keyboard, so I gotta use my son's laptop, and my fingers aren't flailing 100mph, as they are all over this effing small keypad, did I say I hate laptops keyboards.

Now mine is a soda machine........fok...

3 others with more K's than Hits in this era are:

Ryan Howard

Chris Carter

Todd Headley

horrific hits to K ratios....the worst

Now why didn't you just say Matts put your glasses on and re-check those numbers, my bad, corrected to ...and thanks...

 

[3RA1N1AC]

no worries. reynolds got mvp votes the year he lead the league with 220+ ks, 44 HRs and 24? steals!

I don't doubt it, I believe it, yet don't want to believe any voting member was that lost, to vote a single MVP ballot for Reynolds. No more than
a HOF voter, putting Kevin Mass on the HOF ballot, simply cuz he hit more HR's in less games than it took the Bambino to reach 100 HR's.

I think all award voting, incl. HOF voters, have to mandatorily show transparency in their ballots, so those morons can have their voting privileges revoked...instead, we get another Selig gem.....boy I can't wait for Bud to go.....tho' I am not looking forward to probably seeing his right hand yes man as his replacement, or more of the same ol shit....different name same style???
