Career Leaders for Strikeouts
Strikeout kings. A tale once told by an umpire was Walter Johnson pitching with two strikes on a young batter who turned and walked towards the dugout. The umpire reminded the player that he had a strike left to which the player replied, "You can call it, I didn't see the first two!"
On that note, Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all time strikeout leaders in Major League history. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"I can't think of anything more humiliating than losing a ballgame to a guy who steals home on you." - Hall of Fame Pitcher Nolan Ryan (#1 Ranked Strikeouts Leader)
