He fanned 97 times per 162 games ---- > playing in the 1960's and 1970's.
During Boog's career, the strikeout norm was about 25% lower than it now; 100 strikeouts would often put you among the league leaders.  In 1965, for example, Powell was #5 in the AL in K's.
... Powell wasn't quite as extreme a TTO player as Dunn, but Powell was certainly a high-BB, high-K, high-HR guy.
Let's not throw Bone, Sexson, and Strawberry into the category of "contact hitters".  :- )
Chone Figgins, that's a contact hitter.
