Worst Hitting Sluggers of All Time

Here we go with the HR hitters (175+ in career) with the lowest career batting averages, in descending order:
10. .242 355 HR Greg Vaughn (only black on the list)
T-8..241 245 HR Mickey Tettleton(S-H)
T-8..241 201 HR Gene Tenace(C)
7. .240 179 HR Woodie Held (who?!)
6. .239 176 HR Ron Kittle(Don't tell any more stories on poor Barry!)
5. .236 442 HR the immortal Dave King(Kong)man
4. .234 202 HR Todd Hundley(2nd catcher, 2nd switch-hitter on the list)
3. .229 181 HR Steve Balboni (those avgs are REALLY gettin' ugly now!)
2. .225 268 HR "Stormin'" Gorman Thomas (stormin' backto a seat in the dugout all too often!)
and (drum roll) the all time worst hitting slugger is...
1. .220 230 HR Rob Deer (in the headlights!)
For what it's worth, notice the preponderance of 1970's-early 80's guys. And that's all I have to say about that.
