Walt Wilmot did the same thing in 1891.
Two hold the record of six walks in a 9-inning game: Jimmy Foxx, on 1938 June 16 Walt Wilmost, on 1891 August 22 Jeff Bagwell (1999 August 20) and Andre Thorton (1984 May 2) did the same in an extra inning game.
The most walks in a single game by both teams is 30, and it happened in both a 9-inning game and an extra inning game. On May 9th, 1916, Detroit walked 18 times and Philadelphia walked 12 times in a 9-inning game. On September 14th, 1971, Washington walked 19 times and Cleveland walked 11 times in a 20-inning game. Washington's 19 walks stands as the drawn in a game by a single team.
Here are some answers from the community:Well, if he keeps hitting foul balls he could theoretically stay there forever. Doesn't usually happen though. Three strikes and he's out. Four balls and he walks. Theoretically, unlimited. If the batter keeps hitting 3rd strike foul balls, he could stay there indefinitely.11 pitches. Two outs in the inning, runner on base, 3-2 count, and runner gets caught stealing for the 3rd out. The same batter leads off the next with the same at bat receiving a 3-2 count for a total of 10 pitches, the 11th pitch is a hit, walk, or strike out.
Fewest walks in a season is kind of a bad question because I'm sure there have been plenty of players who could have played 20 games and had zero walks in any given year (or something like that). However, the MLB record for fewest walks while still being eligible for the batting title was Shawon Dunston who had 8 in 490 at-bats in 1997.
Jordan Craft of the NCAA D-1 Dallas Baptist Patriots, threw a complete game shut out against Grand Prairie in 2006. Craft threw a complete game shut out, despite giving up 11 walks. There were 7 double plays turned in support by DBU.
I believe it is Babe Ruth

A walk-off RBI is when a batter in the bottom half of the last inning of the game (either the ninth or in extra innings) drives in a runner that gives his team the lead. Since the opposing team does not get to bat again (having batted in the top half of the inning) the player's team "walks off" without having made three outs. Further play is no longer necessary.

In MLB, the record for walks by a batter in a game is 6 and is held by Jimmie Foxx of the Boston Red Sox (1938) and Walt Wilmot of the Chicago Colts (1891).
Babe Ruth set the MLB record with 170 walks in 1923. It was broken in 2001 by Barry Bonds who was walked 177 times. Bonds broke his own record in 2002 with 198 walks and again in 2004 with 232 walks.
A walk and then a steal.
It's the walks and hits per inning pitched. In other words it's the average number of walk and hits a pitcher gives up per inning pitched.
