MLB All-Time Career RBI Leaders (1871-2023) - Updated

[@Defx10]

Cap Anson is the GOAT. Held the RBI title for 53 years, still in the top 5 to this day, and did it during the dead ball era.

[@Patricklovesbaseball]

Well he played one of the longest careers ever so that means even though it was the dead ball era, he player for 27 years so he would’ve had a lot

[@Patricklovesbaseball]

Played*

[@toddrunyon]

@@Patricklovesbaseball That is true but you also have to consider the number of games played in those early years. For the first 13 years of his career, he never played in a hundred games. I like to compare number of games when looking at lifetime states. Anson had 2075 RBIs in 2524 games while Hank Aaron had 2297 RBIs in 3298 games. It took Aaron roughly 750 more games to amass approximately 220 more RBIs.

MLB does not count RBI stats pre-1920 (wasn't an official stat until then)

[@danielward8645]

Man i had never even heard of Anson until these videos started popping up. None of the guys pre 1900 were ever mentioned a lot tbh. one of these days when i’m bored i’ll have to read up about them. Edit: Okay i just read his wiki. Apparently he was a huge proponent of segregation in baseball. So that’s probably why he doesn’t get talked about as one of the greats a whole lot. MLB probably wants people to forget about all that stuff. W/e though. So dude was probably racist 130 years ago when like 90% of the american population was also still racist af. don’t see why that means we gotta play dumb and pretend like he didn’t exist.

Glad to see you're making strides and improving your content!

[@robertanderson2898]

Now since Longoria retired, Freddie Freeman is the active RBI leader with 1,231. No one will even get close to the lowest spot at the end of the video.

[@wwftroy22]

Cap had it for 50 years dam

[@MKtagteamer]

What a beast

[@kevingrace4831]

Wow, I didn’t realize Pujols had passed Ruth.

[@rwc20071]

I know he is controversial, but Alex Rodriguez has to be a top 10 player all time

[@EmilioRios-pm5nz]

Hank Aaron Rules

[@paulbrower]

Wow! Al Kaline never cracks either this or the home run list.

[@robertanderson2898]

He ended in the high 1500s, the other players in his time and beforehand prevented him from making those lists, he ended up with 'only' 399 Homers, he wasn't really anywhere near that list. Mickey Mantle had fewer RBI than Kaline, doesn't appear either.

[@jairomartinezperez4909]

🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴👏👏👏 ¡Pujols!

[@Solar-co2bf]

Cap anson, Honus Wagner, Nap lajoie, Ty cobb,Tris speaker,Eddie collins,Babe ruth,Rogers hornsby,Lou gehrig,Jimmie foxx,Mel ott,Joe dimaggio,Ted williams,Stan musial,Willie mays,Hank Aaron,Ernie Banks,Frank robinson,Carl Yastrzemski,Dave winfield,Eddie murray,Barry bonds,Rafael palmeiro,Ken griffey jr,Alex rodriguez,Albert pujols,Miguel cabrera... Where is Mickey mantle?

[@robertanderson2898]

He retired with 1,509, not enough to make an appearance on the list at the time. He was never really a huge RBI guy except for a few seasons. Only surpassed 100 four times.

[@toddrunyon]

Not on the list.

[@activeshooter628]

love seeing Foxx,Cobb,Gehrig still hanging in there and remember some of these guys lost 4 years to war on side note

[@paralysis_unknown3872]

wb the og cap anson?

[@mpaulm]

Nobody’s catching Aaron!

[@Memorex996]

This record could've been Gehrig's :(

[@robertanderson2898]

A-Rod could've been tops had he not been suspended and missed all that other time. Steroids or not. Both Homers and RBI. Probably Runs Scored too. Will Albert Pujols be the last player to knock in over 2,000 runs? Looks like it, for quite a long time. Now that Cabrera and Cruz have retired, the active leader moves all the way down to Evan Longoria, who has 1,159. 😮
