All are incorrect. As great a power hitter as Ruth was, it would be very difficult to have a .342 career BA without hitting a lot of singles too. In fact, Ruth barely makes the bottom 50 in singles rate among players with 2,000 or more hits.

True. So, where does Rickey rank for triples?

Never mind

I bet Willie Wilson is near the bottom in both double and home run rate.
Wilson for doubles?
Ashburn for home runs?
Staub for triples? or Manny Ramirez?

[GiambiJuice]

Oh I thought you meant lowest rate per hit-at least that's one interpretation I got.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough in the OP. I am looking for lowest rate per At Bat - not Per Hit.

I bet Willie Wilson is near the bottom in both double and home run rate.
Ashburn for home runs?
Staub for triples?

All are incorrect.

I dont know if these guys have 2000 hits and don't want to cheat so 3B guesses are: Killebrew, McCovey, Thome

[brett]

Manny Ramirez for triples?
Andre Dawson for walks?
