I really appreciate your comments. Ruth fell short of 3000
hits by only 127. But, if you look at his BB column, you will
understand why. He was walked an unbelievable 2056 times.

The closest players to this figure are Williams (2019) and
Yaz (1845) and Mantle (1734). All four of these guys could
have achieved even greater hitting numbers if it wasn't for
all these Walks.
