Career Leaders for At-Bats
An at-bat is an officially recognized statistic that counts the number of times a batter steps into the batter's box. It does not include times when a batter reaches first base by a bases on balls (walks), being hit by a pitch, any sacrifices, or catcher interference.
Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time career leaders in Major League at-bats. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"What bothers me is a first-year guy, a guy that hasn't played one day in the big leagues, makes more than I made in ten years." - Frank Robinson (22nd Overall At-Bats Leader)
