\"\"<\/a>With less than four months until baseball returns to Chicago.\u00a0 I thought it would be a good time to revisit, for the first time in six years, the all-time rankings in both offensive and defensive categories for all iterations of the current 30 teams for the 1040 games I\u2019ve identified that I have attended.\u00a0 We continue today on the defensive side of the ball with\u00a0bases on balls\u00a0surrendered.<\/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, three teams are averaging four or more walks per game, with the Nationals leading the pack with just over four.\u00a0 The Cubs find themselves, unfortunately, in the top ten at 3.45 walks per game, while the White Sox just make it into the bottom half (or top half, depending on your point of view) with 3.29 walks per game.\u00a0 The Anaheim version of the Angels and the Miami version of the Marlins bring up the rear as the only teams with less than two walks per game, at 1.5 a piece.<\/p>\n
