Good start guys. Bishop and Thomas are incorrect, but the rest are correct.

[PVNICK]

Eddie Joost
Eddie Stanky
McCovey

[JR Hart]

Jim Wynn 1969 148 walks

I've played his strat o matic card

Wynn could be on the list twice

[JR Hart]

Ralph Kiner

Lou Gehrig

I've played SOM cards of these guys and they really walked

Maybe Gehrig in 36 and Kiner in 51, I have those seasons.

[GiambiJuice]

Joost, Stanky, and Wynn are correct. Stanky is the one guy on the list twice.

Who would've thunk it - three players named "Eddie" in the top 10!

[PlanetZoltan]

Willie McCovey maybe?

[BigRon]

I'll try Mickey Mantle- he had several very high BB totals in the late 50s.

[BigRon]

I'll also give Harmon Killebrew a try- he was a big walker, regularly at 100 or more. Mike Schmidt is also possibility.

[GiambiJuice]

Mantle and Killebrew are correct.

1 more to go....

[Gee Walker]

Roy Cullenbine?

[JR Hart]

1911 Jimmy Sheckard?

and I didn't look I have the 1911 SOM season and he walks a lot, I don't know if he walks that much

[GiambiJuice]

1911 Jimmy Sheckard?

and I didn't look I have the 1911 SOM season and he walks a lot, I don't know if he walks that much

Sheckard is correct. Good job!
