  1. ^ A player is considered inactive if he has announced his retirement or has not played for a full season.
  2. ^ Major League Baseball lists Cobb's hit total at 4,191, although research has revised the total to 4,189 because of double-counting a 2-hit day.
  3. ^ Cap Anson's hit amounts are different depending on the source and what hits are included in various leagues he played in. His total varies from 2,995 to 3,435. MLB.com credits him with 3,011.
