Joe Sewell....anybody who can go an entire career striking out once every 60+ at bats, and can go an amazing 115 straight games iwthout a strikeout, to me has more bat control than should be humanly possible. Ergo, he has been and will always be, my avatar.
In 1932, he had 503 at bats, and struck out only 3 times. In 1925, 1929 and 1933, he only had 4 strikeouts. Better put, from 1925-1933, he struck out 4,6,7,9,4,3,8,3, and 4 times. That's 9 seasons with a total of 48 strikeouts. That's the same as a poor road series for Ryan Howard.
If you thought that was amazing, here's the kicker. He had 7,132 career at bats.....and he used the exact same bat in all of them. A single bat for one full career....AMAZING!
