Eddie Yost was one of my favorite Senators when I was a kid back in the 1950's. "The walking man" led the A.L. in walks 6 times, and he had a total of 1,614 walks for his career (vs. a career total of 1,863 hits). His career BA is a pedestrian .254, but his career OBP is .394. Yost led the A.L. in OBP in 1959 & 1960, his two years with Detroit.
