Enjoyable quiz - here’s some of the notable 50+ HR low strikeout seasons ,
Maris 61 hr 67 so
1949 Kiner 54 hr 61 so
1955 Mays 51 hr 60 so
Ruth’s best 1921 59 hr 81 so
Bonds 73 hr 93 so
Honorable mention 2006 Pujols 49 hr 50 so

And here are some seasons where players had 30 HRs and fewer strikeouts:

DiMaggio 1938: 32/31
DiMaggio 1939: 30/20
DiMaggio 1941: 30/13
T. Williams 1941: 32/27
DiMaggio 1948: 39/30
Ken Williams 1922: 39/31
Berra 1952: 30/24
Willard Marshall 1947: 36/30
Musial 1948: 39/34
Kluszewski 1956: 35/31
Pafko 1950: 36/32

DiMaggio with 30 HRs and only 13 SOs in 1941 is pretty absurd.
