Twice as many Homeruns than Strikeouts in a single season

fkw

This might be a good place to post this.

I was trying to find out what players in Major League Baseball History have full seasons where they hit over twice as many Homeruns than Strikeouts.

I have 3 so far...

Yogi Berra 28 HRs, 12 SOs, 597 At Bats in 1950
Joe DiMaggio 30 HRs, 13 SOs, 541 At Bats in 1941
Joe Sewell 11 HRs, 3 SOs, 502 At Bats in 1932

Anyone have any others????

Before the accepted inception Major Leage Baseball there were a few professional baseball players to do so. Baseball reference will confirm Levi Meyerle doing it twice in the National Association. I think they pitched underhand. As for more genuine examples, don't think there are any from the modern era, at least with double digit totals. Someone may have hit one or two homeruns with zero or one strikeouts. Kluszewski is probably the most famous at having higher homerun than strikeout totals. Then there is Joe Jackson who had more triples than strikeouts, though Sewell even manages twice as many one year

OVER twice as many? I think you got them all (in the modern era). EXACTLY twice as many and you can add Lombardi and Boudreau.

Boudreau's 1954 season is simply amazing; he attained a career high in homers while attaining a career low in strikeouts, AND he did that while attaining a career high in batting average by 30 points. And he did all this on ankles that sometimes barely allowed him to stand and that ended his playing career shortly thereafter.

Yes indeed,
Lou Boudreau is perhaps the most under-rated SS of all.
Maybe next to Wagner as the all time best, his defense was great, fine batter as well,
Ripken and Vaughn are close, but Lou was very good and maybe, just possibly, the number two SS ever !!
