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:
"Major League Baseball has the most gruelling schedule of all the major sports, with each team playing 162 games in 180 days." - Baseball Gambling Online
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).
Jose Cruz of the Houston Astros had his number twenty-five retired on October 3, 1992, and became the first Major League player with that particular retired number.
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?
