As a result of his swinging at everything, Berra had a pretty low walk rate, never topping 66 in a season. But generally, guys who swing at everything strike out a fair amount, which Berra almost NEVER did. Never even 40 k's in a season. He had five seasons with more home runs than strikeouts, which was utterly absurd even then. To give you an idea of how peculiar he was, in 1952, he led the Yankees in home runs (remember he was playing with Mickey Mantle at the time) with 30, and was tenth on the team in strikeouts, with 24, behind the other 7 starting position players, utility infielder Irv Noren, and pitcher Vic Raschi, who 'bested' Berra's strikeout total in 88 PA's, to Berra's 603.
