42 HRs and 39 Ks

[brett]

Just noticed that Albert Pujols now has 42 homeruns and only 39 Ks. I think that Mize is the only player with 50 HRs and less than 50 Ks. Anyone else?

What are the greatest single season margins of HRs to Ks? I know that Dimaggio was +17 with 30 HRs and 13 Ks.

What are the greatest single season margins of HRs to Ks? I know that Dimaggio was +17 with 30 HRs and 13 Ks.Lou Gehrig was +18 in 1934 with 49 HRs and 31 Ks.

Tommy Holmes was +19 in 1945 with 28 HRs and 9 Ks.

All I can say is Joe Dimaggio still doesn't get enough respect as a truly great hitter.
