When Sir Alex of Rodrigia joined the 3K hit club the other day he did so with the highest percentage of HRs among those 3,00+ hits: 22.3% now that his totals are 3,002 and 668.
I was thinking of ways of trying to make the rest of this list into a quiz, but it's just too arcane as a lot of the pcts are fairly close to each other to the point of no practical distinction and so it becomes just a guessing game based on your knowledge of who has 3,000 hits (like Paul Waner & Eddie Collins) and who doesn't (Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle) so I'll just spill it out instead.
Mays (20.1%) and Aaron (20.0%) are the only other ones over 20%. Bringing up the rear, not surprisingly, are all the early 20th century guys ... and Rod Carew.
So after the above three:
4th - Rafael Palmiero - 18.8%
5 - Eddie Murray = 15.5%
6 - Dave Winfield - 15.0%
7 - Cal Ripken - 13.5%
8 - Al Kaline - 13.3%
9 - Carl Yastrzemski - 13.2%
10 - Stan Musial - 13.1%
11 - George Brett - 10.1%
12 - Rickey Henderson - 9.7%
13 - Craig Biggio - 9.5%
14 - Roberto Clemente - 8.0%
15 - Robin Yount - 8.0%
16 - Derek Jeter - 7.5%
17 - Paul Molitor - 7.1%
18 - Lou Brock - 4.9%
19 - Tony Gwynn - 4.3%
20 - Wade Boggs - 3.9%
21 - Pete Rose - 3.8%
22 - Paul Waner - 3.6%
23 - Tris Speaker - 3.3%
24 - Rod Carew - 3.0%
25 - Honus Wagner - 3.0%
26 - Cap Anson - 2.8%
27 - Ty Cobb - 2.8%
28 - Nap Lajoie - 2.5%
29 - Eddie Collins - 1.4%
