Question
Bengie Molina has gone over 80 at bats this season without a walk, what is the major league record for at bats without a walk?

Answer
Petr,

From 1954 to present, the record is held by Mariano Duncan, who in 77 games from June 24, 1994 to August 8, 1995, went 305 at bats without a walk, playing for Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

I'm sorry, but I cannot verify any figures before 1954.

By the way, there are hundreds of players who have gone 80 or more ABs without a walk.
