1969 AL Strikeout Leaders Sam McDowell Mickey Lolich Andy Messersmith


Not nearly as many guys above 200 as in the NL that year (card #71).  This list also falls a little short of the AL in recent years (2017-2019).

The three pictured guys are remembered, respectively, for (1) damaging the end of a career with drinking, (2) a tremendous world series and (3) free agency.  There was much more to their careers than any of those individual things.
