More impressive to me than Joe's consecutive game hitting streak in 1941 is the fact that for his entire career he hit 361 home rums and struck out only 369 times.
That is a career HR/K ratio of .978731978, which is phenomenal.
Third place in this metric is probably Yogi who had 358 home runs and 414 career strike outs for a ratio of .86.
The list of those above .50 I would maintain is very short. There are a few though including Lefty O'Doul, Johnny Mize, Lou Gehrig, Kluszewski, Ott, Musial, Williams and Dickey. Actually O'Doul is above Berra, but with a much shorter career. There may be a few others.
