Best Answer

Here is the information I got from two different sources: Reggie Jackson struck out 2597 times, hard to believe for a man who maintained a career .490 batting average and hit 563 home runs.

The .490 was Jackson's slugging percentage, not his batting average. His career batting average was .262. Bobby Bonds set the record for the most strikeouts in one season with 189, but of all time I think it is Reggie Jackson.

What was the difference of Negro Leagues from the white major-league ball clubs?

Please someone answer the question fast!!!! I searched all over the Internet and couldn't figure out the answer. :(I believe that the Negro Leagues was a league of baseball that was strictly focused on Afo-American men back at that time, because of racism and discrimination. White major league ball were just your average baseball teams. Again, I believe that this was around the same time as racism and discrimination and there was a STRICT NO NEGROES allowed policy.Segregation really kept them apart. That was main difference between Negro Leagues from the White Major League ball clubs.
