    Stan Musial

    EXCELLENT choice! 903 more walks than strikeouts, 475 HR, .331 BA, .559 SLG.

    I have 3 players ranked above him using this criteria.

    Teddy Ballgame was going to be my guess without cheating by looking it up first

    frank thomas did it, and hit over 500 home runs!

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Williams, Gehrig and Musial qualify. Bonds did not hit for a .300 BA.

    Here's my list;

    Ted Williams, 1st in more walks than K's, BA and OBP, 2nd in SLG and HR.
    Babe Ruth, 4th in more walks than K's 2nd in BA and OBP, 1st in SLG and HR.
    Lou Gehrig, 5th in more walks than K's 3rd in BA, OBP and SLG and 4th and HR.
    Stan Musial, 2nd in more walks than K's fourth in BA, OBP and SLG and 5th in HR.

    Mel Ott, 3rd in more walks than K's 5th in BA, OBP and SLG and 3rd in HR.

    That’s an exclusive list!
    I think DiMaggio came pretty close. .398 OBP and 361 home runs. Could have gotten there if he played a couple more years and raised the OBP just a bit.

    it's more exclusive than you think

    Mel Ott didn't meet the criteria.............he slugged .533

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The .550 slug is a killer. Ortiz was close but racked up a lot of Ks compared to walks in the back half of his career

    Jimmie Foxx is close. He didnt have 400 more walks. Foxx is one of only 3 players with a .320 or higher BA, and 500 or more HR's.
