[edit] Biographical Information
Adam Dunn is the only player in Major League history to hit a ball into another state. In 2005, Dunn hit a home run out of Great American Ballpark in Ohio into the Ohio River. However, that part of the river is owned by Kentucky.
Dunn held the single-season MLB strikeout record from 2004 until 2007, when Ryan Howard broke his mark.
The similarity scores method shows only two Hall of Famers on the list of the ten most similar players to Dunn: Reggie Jackson and Harmon Killebrew. If he's to make the Hall of Fame, he has to strive for the kind of consistency and long career that they showed.
