A new data visualization maps 150 seasons of Major League Baseball walk leaders, with each bar coloured to the leader's main club. It shows Babe Ruth taking the record in 1930 and holding it for 71 seasons, before Rickey Henderson edges past him in 2001 by a margin of two walks, 2,062 to 2,060, with Barry Bonds later surpassing Henderson.

Why now: Baseball fans are drawn to the dramatic, decades-long succession of walk records and the striking data design.
