Too Many Strikeouts - See 1959 Topps Card
I'm tired of all the strikeouts in today's game. I was loooking thru my 1959 Topps Set and read this on the back of the Nellie Fox All-Star Card :

Willie Keeler had 633 plate appearances in 1899 and struck out twice. That season he had 1 homer and batted .379 with an OPS of .876
In his 19 year MLB career he had 9607 PA and 136 SO. He was pretty good.

There was a time when players took pride in not striking out. Now the game is all about swinging for the fences.
This season 22 out of the 30 major league teams are on a pace to hit 200 home runs, with Minnesota having a very good chance of surpassing 300.

It's still an art. The most Andrelton Simmons has ever struck out in a season is 67 times. Willians Astudillo hardly ever strikes out either. In 2,520 minor at bats he only struck out 82 times. In 239 major league at bats he's only struck out 8 times. His problem is he never walks either.

Nellie Fox and Wee Willie Keeler, now there's an exciting pair of hitters. I'm sure they brought the crowd to their feet in anticipation each and every at bat

My dad grew up during the dead ball era, and to him, striking out was a sin. So, growing up, my favorite players were those who didn't strike out much. And, this probably explains why I now collect cards of Sam Rice.
Rice's best year probably was 1925; in 710 PAs, he had 227 hits, batted .350 and struck out only 10 times. In 1930 at age 40, in 669 PAs, Rice had 207 hits, batted .349 and struck out only 14 times. Not too shabby!
