Pete Rose Is #1 in MLB Career Wins. Can Kevin Name the Other 9 on the List? | HoM Quiz
from The Halls of Mediocrity · host Kevin Hall & Jeff Hall | Archive Podcast Network
Pete Rose participated in more wins than anyone who ever played Major League Baseball: 1,972. Kevin already knew that one. Jeff gave him nine minutes to name the other nine.The rule: everyday players only, no pitchers, minimum 3,000 games played.The list is not what most people would guess. Hank Aaron is #2 at 1,735 - surprising, because a lot of those Braves teams weren't great. Willie Mays is #6. Ty Cobb is #7, the only pre-1940 player besides Rose. Stan Musial is #5. Cal Ripken Jr. is #10 despite playing in 3,001 career games, because a lot of those Orioles teams were bad. Eddie Murray edges him at #8 with a much better winning percentage. Rickey Henderson is #9. Albert Pujols is #4 - not in the Hall of Fame yet, but he will be. And the last one Kevin gets, after a hint about a grandson currently playing in the majors, is Carl Yastrzemski at #3 with 1,718 wins.Every name on that list is either in the Hall of Fame or will be. Every name except Pete Rose.A second bonus quiz episode spinning directly out of HoM's Pete Rose episode.#peterose #mlbb #mlb #mlbbshorts #hankaaron #williemays #tycobb
