Fox's 1959 MVP with a slash line of 2/70/.306 seems a bit dubious to me.

Aaron Judge struck out 8 times yesterday in a doubleheader, I believe a new major league record. That is just brutal.

I know Peter. There was a time when players took pride in making contact and not striking out. Today, they don't even care. They can strike out 150 times a season as long as they are still otherwise productive. It is among the most dramatic ways the game has changed.

It looks to me like the OP has lost interest in his own thread.

IMO, much too much is made about how few strikeouts there were in previous eras or by previous hitters. The approach to hitting, to pitching and to the game are all very different. ONLY in the most general examination are those statistics in anyway comparable.

What's different that it results in more strikeouts? We're not talking the deadball era in comparison, we're talking the 1930s in DiMaggio's case. One year he hit 46 HR and fanned 37 times, not like he wasn't trying to drive the ball.
