\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With 2 months until baseball in Chicago returns, I thought it would be interesting to look at the all time rankings in both offensive and defensive categories for all iterations of the current 30 teams for the 833 games I\u2019ve identified that I have attended. We continue today on the offensive side of the ball with strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Based on the raw numbers, the White Sox and Cubs are far and away the leaders in this category, as they are the teams I\u2019ve seen the most.\u00a0 When you adjust the numbers per game, the Diamondbacks have a commanding lead with 9.6 strikeouts per game, the only team over 9.\u00a0 Both the Cubs and the White Sox are in the bottom (or top,\u00a0depending on your point of view)\u00a0third, surprising given the number of at bats given to strikeout machines like Sammy Sosa, Jim Thome, and Adam Dunn.\u00a0 The California iteration of the Angels have the low water mark with 4 strikeouts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n
