Ryan Howard currently holds baseball’s single season strikeout record with 199 in 2007.  Fantastic, Ryan.  Great discipline at the plate you’ve got going on. After watching Howard do his best Stevie Wonder impersonation at the plate last night (three more whiffs), it is only fitting that City of Pain starts recognizing his achievements, both past, present, and future.  No player has ever hit 200 in a season, and this guy is certainly well on his way. Enjoy that ten million dollar contract.  You can do it Ryan!
