BTW...thought this was pretty cool. A website listed the Top 10 Pitchers of the 1950's. They had the pitcher in question listed #3.
1. Warren Spahn
2. Robin Roberts
3. ?????
4. Lew Burdette
5. Billy Pierce
6. Whitey Ford
7. Bob Lemon
8. Johnny Antonelli
9. Mike Garcia
10. Bob Friend
Amazing how some of these names are now mere commons. Billy Pierce certainly seems to be severely underrated. My dad used to tell me that Bob Friend was his favorite and the best of his era. Anyway...missing one name, the pitcher who had the most Ks in the 1950s...
EDIT to add that Billy Pierce had 1,487 Ks in the 1950s...more than Warren Spahn
