Doubles All-Time Leaders by Baseball Almanac

Career Leaders for Doubles

Combine good speed with a solid hitter and you have the players who appear at the top of this chart. In 1996, a record twenty-one (21) players hit more than forty (40) doubles each setting an all time record.

Should this extra base hits / doubles trend continue, most of the doubles records will fall including these — the top one-hundred (100) all time doubles hitters. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"These days baseball is different. You come to spring training, you get your legs ready, your arms loose, your agents ready and your lawyer lined up." - Dave Winfield (23rd Overall Doubles Leader)

Current Through 2007 Season

In 1931 rightfielder Earl Webb set the all time record with sixty-seven (67) doubles during a single season; however, it was the only season in his career where he had more than thirty.

Joe Medwick hit forty (40+) or more doubles seven (7) consecutive seasons and holds the National League single season record for doubles with sixty-four (64) set in 1936.

In 1901, Roy Thomas played for Philadelphia in the National League. He holds the unique record for least doubles hit with at least five-hundred (500) at-bats when he had only four (4). As if that were not amazing enough, he went on to tie his record in 1903.
