BB team totals are in the same ballpark but SO ... Wow. Roger Maris hit 61 home runs with only 67 strike outs. And Maris famously had zero intentional BB, probably because he usually had Mickey Mantle batting right behind him. For home runs 60 and 61 Mantle was injured and on deck were Hector Lopez and Yogi Berra respectively.
