Knowing the strikeout leader for the 1960s is cool, but what if a dominant streak spans a decade boundary? These pitchers all averaged at least 160 Ks per year for 10 years. Data is from 1901-2011.

Making this required running 100+ searches on BR for "most strikeouts from 1901-1910", "most strikeouts from 1902-1911", etc. etc... ugh, never again. Also, there are 18 bonus answers for the pitchers that didn't land in the 50 best, but still had over 1500 Ks in 10 years. Good luck getting all of them :)

Nice work. Roy Oswalt and CC Sabathia should be on the list. You might also want to say "max. 1 appearance on list", which I think was the right way to do it.

Yeah, if I allowed multiple spans, Randy and Nolan would occupy the first 17 (!!!) spots. Which would make the quiz a tad silly :) Oswalt and Sabathia would indeed make the list if I were to include their 2010 numbers, but I'm uneasy using stats from a season that's still being played--I'll be sure to update once everything is all said and done this year, though!

Updated to include 2010 regular season stats. I had to scoot a few players down into the bonus category to keep it at 50, even though they had over 1600 strikeouts. Undecided if I should just have 53 entries and tolerate losing the nice, round number of 50 items :)

Updated to include 2011 stats. Halladay finally migrated from the bonus answers to the top 50, Sabathia moved a few places up, and three new pitchers were added as "over 1500, but not top 50" bonus answers. FUN TIMES.
