The number of 100- seasons for each player above are somewhat deceptive, as there were so few players (25) that had 100 Strikeouts in a season from 1910-1949 (40 years). In fact, in the 17 years from 1915-1931, there were no MLB players that had a 100-Strikeout season, during the time when Babe Ruth was in his prime. Conversely, during the 23 years from 1990-2012, there were 1,495 players with a 100-Strikeout season. (For more details, see chart on page 215 showing the number of players with 100 Strikeouts in a Season by Decade )

He referred to walk-off hits or HR after that as "walk-off pieces." From 1987-1998, Eckersley finished 577 games and gave up 7 Walk-off Home Runs, all as a Reliever. Pitcher Roy Face (1953-1969) is the career record-holder with 17 Walk-Off Home Runs allowed (see page 280) . * Prior to 1920, a team couldn't win a game in the bottom of the last inning by more than one run, so some game-ending HR became Singles, 2B or 3B.
