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.

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.

My first thought for BBs is Manny, but it probably is a person who isnt playing (aka a few extra years)

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.

Babe Ruth led the league in whiffs 5 times....but never eached 100 and is NOT the answer.....but another good guess.

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.

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

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.

I92, I was just thinking about this today, but you plan on doing the "Top 10 hitters in MLB" thing again?

I think I mis-understood the question. Larkin was a dumb guess.

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

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

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
