I was reminded of this topic as I contemplated Joe Dimaggio's career. He was before my time but I am not sure he gets credit for some of his records. (And I really dislike the Yankees!) Joltin' Joe hit t 361 home runs while striking out only 369 times, for a lifetime 1.02 ratio, the best of any player ever. I think the 369 strikeouts record is amazing. By comparison, Reggie Jackson struck out 2,597 times; A-Rod 2287, Derek Jeter 1840, MIckey Mantle 1710, Barry Bonds 1539. Dimaggio was one of the toughest outs in the history of baseball.

What's your nominee for the most amazing little-known individual record?
