Mark Reynolds: New King of K's Whiffs Thrice, in Final Game of 2009 MLB Season

On the final day of Major League Baseball's regular season, Mark Reynolds of the Arizona Diamondbacks entered uncharted territory in the history of the American pastime.

In an otherwise-meaningless game between Arizona and the Chicago Cubs, Reynolds whiffed three times to increase his dubious record tally to 223. This video chronicles the Sultan of Swing-and-Miss during this historic series of moments.

Time will tell whether the 26-year-old ups the ante in future years, or if he connects more often with the baseball. In addition to going down on strikes, the third baseman has a penchant for hitting the ball a long way when he does make contact. HIs 44 home runs in 2009 were only five shy of the Major League lead, by the St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols.

Yeah , Mark Reynolds already broke the Record of Strikeouts on 09/23/09 at Chase Field because I was there when he broke the record. At this time , he just added 3 more on it to finish off with 223 K's . Mark Reynolds responses to that is "So what".
