There are several players with a claim to the single-season strikeout record. Among recognized major leagues, Matt Kilroy accumulated the highest single-season total, with 513 strikeouts for the Baltimore Orioles of the American Association in 1886.[22] However, his name does not appear on Major League Baseball's single-season leaders list,[23] since the American Association was independent of the constituent leagues that currently make up Major League Baseball.[24] Several other players with high totals, including 1886 American Association runner-up Toad Ramsey (499)[25] and 1884 Union Association leader Hugh Daily (483), do not appear either.[26] In the National League, Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn struck out 441 batters for the Providence Grays;[27] however, the Providence franchise folded after the 1885 season and has no successor.[28] Therefore, Major League Baseball recognizes his runner-up from that season, Charlie Buffinton, as the record-holder with 417 strikeouts.[23] In the American League, Ryan leads with 383 strikeouts in 1973.[7] The largest margin of victory for a champion is 156 strikeouts, achieved in 1883 when Tim Keefe of the American Association's New York Metropolitans posted 359 against Bobby Mathews' 203.[29] The National League's largest margin was achieved in 1999, when Randy Johnson struck out 143 more batters than Kevin Brown.[30] Ryan's 1973 margin of 125 strikeouts over Bert Blyleven is the best American League victory.[31] Although ties for the championship are rare, they have occurred; Claude Passeau and Bucky Walters each struck out 137 National League batters in 1939,[32] and Tex Hughson and Bobo Newsom tied in the American League with 113 strikeouts each in 1942.[33] Their total is the lowest number of strikeouts accumulated to lead a league in Major League Baseball history.
