Single Season Leaders for Games Played in the American League

A sign of longevity. A sign of health. The ability to play the game at a level high enough to keep you in the starting lineup. Those are a few of the key components needed to make the American League single season games played leader board.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) single season leaders in American League games played. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"Hustling Cesar Tovar divided his 1967 season with the Twins among the outfield, third base, second, and short, playing in an AL-record 164 games and leading the league with 649 at-bats. The 5'9" Venezuelan dramatized his versatility in a September 22, 1968 game when he played all nine positions against the A's." - Rich Marazzi on BaseballLibrary.com
