In keeping with pre-war...

There are at least three players with fewer...Hick Carpenter walked only 5 times (the rules were different then if I recall) in 551 ABs.

Art Fletcher (562 AB)in 1915 and George Stovall in 1909 (565 AB) both walked 6 times in a season.

joe sewell was at bat for at bat the greatest pure hitter in history. not to be confused with the best hitter, i'm saying if i need a batter to put the ball in play i'm turning to joe sewell every time.

joe sewell was at bat for at bat the greatest pure hitter in history.

If the goal of a batter is to not strike out, then your statement would at least be in the neighborhood of being correct. The main objective of a batter is to reach base, with the end goal being to score a run for his team.

Placing too much value on making an out by flying out or grounding out as opposed to striking out is a common mistake.

i didn't want what i said to get confused with best hitter or anything like that. what i was trying to say was that joe sewell hit the ball like no one else. i can't think of anyone else who put the bat on the ball like joe sewell and to me that is a great hitter.

Black Ink: Batting - 3 (507) (Average HOFer ˇÖ 27)
Gray Ink: Batting - 75 (313) (Average HOFer ˇÖ 144)
HOF Standards: Batting - 42.9 (115) (Average HOFer ˇÖ 50)
HOF Monitor: Batting - 68.0 (269) (Likely HOFer > 100)

And there you have it, the best pure hitter in history.
Why am I even having this disucssion? Laughing out loud.

I understood what you meant, Ali. You think that putting the ball in play -- not striking out -- is the definition of a great hitter.

You were clear on that.

Clear ... and wrong.
