Career Leaders for Bases on Balls
A base-on-balls is an officially recognized statistic that counts the number of times a batter reaches first base after accepting four pitches outside the strike zone. Prior to 1889, the rule regarding the walk statistic was different and used the following rules of the day: 1876-1879 nine balls, 1880-1882 eight balls, 1882-1884 seven balls, 1884-1885 six balls, 1886 seven balls, 1887-1888 five balls and from 1889 forward it has and still remains four balls.
Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top thousand all-time career leaders in Major League bases on balls. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season. |

"If he'd just tip his cap once, he ( Ted Williams) could be elected Mayor of Boston in five minutes." - Hall of Famer Eddie Collins

Sam Crawford (leader in 1903, 1910, & 1913 through 1915) is the only player in the history of Major League Baseball with more than three-hundred career triples.
During the 1912 season Owen "Chief" Wilson set the single season triples record — yet he never led the league in triples again.
Did you know that Sam Crawford (1903, 1910, 1913-1915), Stan Musial (1943, 1946, 1948-1949, 1951) and Willie Wilson (1980, 1982, 1985 1987-1988) are the only three players who have the led the league in triples for a Major League record five seasons? |
