Leaderboard Score - Least Strikeouts

This post is a continuation of a series listing the best players of all-time in every major statistical category.  If you'd like to read about the method used or see what other stats are available, you can can find it all here.

Here is a list of the players with the greatest ability to avoid strikeouts.  As a Tigers fan, I was interested to see where Placido Polanco ranked and was happy to see him at #11.

As you can see from the graph, I'm missing data for strikeouts from 1897 to 1909.  I hope this doesn't ruin anyone's day.
