4430 for Ryan. Peter, your speculative post wasn’t that hard to verify. Do your homework.

Back in the fifties with roughly 4-5 Ks and 1 HR per game per team, the batters and pitchers would be more balanced.

In the dead ball era, the pitchers would prosper due to the paucity of dingers.

In the current game compared to the 50s, Dingers are up a bit, but whiffs have doubled, once again to the advantage of the pitchers.

The point, Herr Doktor, was why are you going on about two guys with 3000 when there is a guy over 4000.

Joe D. struck out 369 times in his career. One of the more remarkable stats ever IMO.
