Tom Seaver’s Remarkable Strikeouts
Date: 1970s
If you were an opposing batter, there was a good chance you’d return to the bench after a Tom Seaver strikeout. Over his 20-year career, Seaver rung up more than 800 individual hitters. Who was his most frequent victim? Hall of Famer Tony Perez with 44 Ks. Other major whiffers included Hall of Famers Willie Stargell (39) and Mike Schmidt (35).
