Ty Cobb

Here's one.  He's part of the three-way tie for first with 24 seasons under 100 SOs.

I think I was editing the question as you wrote this, but I meant for it to only be among HOFers.

24 seasons is a ton. 

Yaz?
Rickey?

For the record, these are all just years active at all.  If someone had 5 at-bats in a season, that would qualify, but it qualifies for all candidates.

The third winner still had over 8000 at-bats and is in the HOF, so it's not a Deion Sanders-type answer.

Collins is tied with Yaz for 4th with 23.

Napoleon is tied at 17th with 21.  Also, these are post-1900 HOFers, and he technically started in the 1800s.

Tris is tied for 11th with 22.

Yes he did.  ;)

And he never had a season with 100 strikeouts.

That puts him in as #3.

Carlton Fisk always reminds me of this Adam Sandler skit.

The Fisk part is right around :40. NSFW, but everyone should be at home anyway. It's stupid, but I loved his comedy albums in high school
