Hank never struck out over 100 times in a season.....97 was his high. That's incredible.

@ScoobyDoo2 ....My favorite Barry Bonds facts:
Bonds was 0-3 vs. 20 year old Rick Ankiel.......with 3 k's...... 1st AB he took the count full b4 striking out swinging. The last two AB's he struck out swinging on 3 straight and then looking at 3 straight....& never faced Rick again.1 -

The most consecutive AB's a pitcher ever held Bonds from reaching base via a hit or walk was 6 times....Geremi Gonzalez with a career 4.93 ERA and 570 innings pitched... he retired from the Brewers and 2 years later was struck by lightening and died.....

I would've guessed Koufax
And he only faced Gibson 108 times; he faced Drysdale 243 times.
Real trivia: he faced Rich Nye 10 times in his career and struck out 5 times. And Nye was a lefty. And I bet Nye knows this and talks about it to anyone who will listen.
Jamie Moyer?

Dave Kingman.
@MLBdays .... Can you tell me the same for Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds?
For Aaron it was Drysdale, and by a big margin over Gibson (47 to 32), although when he wasn't striking out he hit Drysdale pretty hard (17 HR vs. 8 off Gibson).
And I don't look up Barry Bonds stats, only baseball players.

Were Nolan Ryan and Rickey Henderson baseball players?
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
I watched most of Koufax and Drysdale's games, living in LA.
Drysdale threw "way inside" many times, hit a fair share of batters.
I don't recall a batter ever charging the mound to get to Big Don.
For the love of God, why?
