Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time Major League career leaders in extra-base hits. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"(Miller) Huggins was almost like a schoolmaster in the dugout. There was no goofing off. You watched the game, and you kept track not only of the score and the number of outs, but of the count on the batter. At any moment, Hug might ask you what the situation was." - Waite Hoyt on BaseballHallOfFame.org (Miller Huggins Page)
