Finding the American or National League leader in virtually every hitting & pitching statistic is easy-to-do. Finding the top 25 players during any given season is far more challenging. Baseball Almanac has taken away that difficult problem and is pleased to present the data you requested:
"What people don't understand is, one day off for Cal Ripken would not recharge his batteries. One day would not do it. He's not playing 2,130 games in a row. Cal is ONLY playing 162 games a year." - Frank Robinson in The Sporting News (September 11, 1995)
Did you know that more than forty players have worn the number twenty-five for the Boston Red Sox; including Jack Clark, Denny Galehouse, Dizzy Trout and Tony Conigliaro?
The first player from the Angels franchise (they were the California Angels at the time) to wear the number twenty-five was Bob Perry.
Jim Thome wore number twenty-five since he first came up with the Cleveland Indians making him the franchise record holder for that particular number (Mike Garcia is second).
