I am absolutely baffled by the disdain for the strikeout. Simply put, by fanning someone, there is no 'damage' possible. A runner on third won't be able to score, runners won't advance (unless by stealing a base), etc. Putting a ball into play can lead to misplays, errors (yes, Mickey Owen, I get it), tagging up, a fielder's choice and so on. A strikeout eliminates that. Hell, if Mookie Wilson struck out, the Sox would've worn the crown in '86.
