That's not the way things should work and I'll mentioned it to Sean. Good catch.

I redid the search from 1989 to 2010 and left off any choice of whether the players are active or not. It means that maybe we should add Darin Erstad, who I don't think is officially retired. Same for Ray Durham. Rich Aurilia, though, I think has officially retired. Carlos Delgado should be on there but also hasn't played this year.

Jay: This search doesn't care about how many teams a guy has played for--in only counts if he got 1,000 hits for any one team. Hence guys like Manny showing up twice on the list.

Let's try searching it tomorrow when Varitek's Saturday game will give him an appearance this year.

Not his original team

I'm waiting for The Onion to have an article honoring A-Rod for having fewer Yankee hits than Horace Clark. 🙂 The Yankees have more history than any other franchise so it seems odd when they reach deep to manufacture more. (Nothing against the blogpost, Andy, you spun it into something interesting).

Being on the DL still counts as active. I don't know why Berkman doesn't come up.

They're the same franchise, so there's no way to distinguish them. It's like how LA Dodgers stats include Brooklyn totals.

Why completely throw out the Expos? Washington will have one soon in Ryan Zimmerman.
