I 92's Baseball Trivia......K/BB

  • Ironman92
    Who are the two all-time leaders in strikeouts and walks AND have never had 100+ strikeouts or walks in a season.

    Need the strikeout answer and the walk answer.
  • Azubuike24
    My first thought was Barry Larkin. He was always near the top of MLB in toughest to strikeout but he was still a good contact hitter as he hit almost .300 for his career.
  • Laley23
    Barry Bonds for Ks
  • Laley23
    Babe Ruth for Ks.

    Bonds had ONE season (his first) with over 100
  • Ironman92
    Bonds....like Eddie Murray went over in his very first season by just a few....Bonds whiffed 102 times his 1st season


    excellent guess
  • Laley23
    My first thought for BBs is Manny, but it probably is a person who isnt playing (aka a few extra years)
  • Ironman92
    Larkin is incorrect...need a little more longevity...plus he was too hard to fan....need those 85-99 whiff a year guys who played forever.
  • Ironman92
    Babe Ruth led the league in whiffs 5 times....but never eached 100 and is NOT the answer.....but another good guess.
  • Laley23
    Hank Aaron played forever and to my knowledge never Ked or BBed a whole lot. Maybe he is the answer to both lol.

    damn! I JUST looked up his stats after that guess. I thought I had it nailed when I saw the 5 bolded Ks without it being 100 lol.
  • Ironman92
    Manny had 100 1 time.....another solid guess
  • Ironman92
    laley got Hank Aaron on the walks......never fanned 100 times either....but there are a few guys above him

    lol, I knew that as he is my favorite player (or one of), but I thought you might be going with a trick question with the "+" sign meaning 100+ and 100 was still good. lol
  • Laley23
    Pudge for Ks
  • Ironman92
    Pudge is the K winner by edging out Carl Yastremski by 3


    On a sidenote Pudge said he wanted to play 3 or 4 more years.....good god.
  • Laley23
    I92, I was just thinking about this today, but you plan on doing the "Top 10 hitters in MLB" thing again?
  • Ironman92
    I've been planning it......track season wears me down to no end....it is over for my kids after regionals so I have a moment to breathe a little.

    Look for it Thursday......it'll be tough this year IMO
  • Azubuike24
    I think I mis-understood the question. Larkin was a dumb guess.
  • darbypitcher22
    I'm gonna take a wild stab and say Lou Gherig, just because I'm pretty sure he never struck out more than 100 times in a season
  • Ironman92
    The answer for most career whiffs without ever getting 100 in a season is Pudge Rodriguez

    The answer for most career walks without ever getting 100 in a season in Hank Aaron
  • Ironman92
    Gehrig is way under 1,000 career whiffs I think
  • Laley23
    Agree. I think a lot of the young guns that people had up last year wont get a single vote. I think Adam Jones, Justin Upton, and some others snagged quite a bit, and they are really struggling this year.

    Of course, my boy Miggy will get his fair share! But thats a given since hes gonna pull down the triple crown this year :D
