Who doesn't love Albert?... oh yeah, pitchers.
 
That was a pretty close ratio he ran that year and in doing so laid out the template for doing it in the modern era.  The home runs have to rise to meet the strike outs and not the other way around.  I don't think we'll ever see the plate discipline of Joltin Joe again.  I wonder if he had dialed back on the power that year if he could have held his strike outs to single digits for the year.
