The subject was strikeouts and walks. During his career with the New York Yankees, the late, great Mickey Mantle (#7) had 1,710 strikeouts and 1,734 walks.
"That's 3,444 times I came to bat without hitting the ball," Mickey said. "Figure 500 at-bats a season for a player playing regularly --- and that means I played seven years without hitting the ball."
That's a lot of swings, attempts and difficulties to overcome for one of the most respected batting champions baseball has ever known.
Mickey continued, "Sometimes when I'm doing a question-and-answer, a guy will ask, 'Didn't you strikeout a lot?' I say, 'I sure did. I struck out 1,710 times, but every one of them was almost a home run.'"
