Homerun King of Strikeout King

For many years, Babe Ruth was known as the King of Strikeouts. He was known for his all or nothing batting style. He led the American League in strikeouts five times and accumulated 1,330 of them in his career.

In 2012, 136 players struck out 94 or more times.

Why did I pick that number?

Because 94 is one higher than Ruth’s highest single-season total, in 1923, he was struck out 93 times (in a year when he hit 41 homers and walked 170 times.) In 1933, it was 90 times.

Those were the only two seasons that he struck out as many as 90 times.

And his 1,330 career total, that was the Major League record for 30 years until Mickey Mantle surpassed it in 1964. Now it doesn’t even rank in the top 100 of all-time.
