This was a much more exciting day back when the White Sox delivered physical tickets for non-premium season ticket holders, but season tickets have been uploaded to the MLB Ballpark app. While this does make the actual game day use of the tickets more convenient, I can’t help but miss the old days of paper tickets and getting a big, fancy box filled with tickets in the mail.

Cardinals All Time Leaders – Through 2025
To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. With a little more than a month until regular season baseball, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals began life in 1891, joining the National League the following year after the dissolution of the old American Association. They took on the Cardinal name starting in 1900 and have been a longtime rival of the Cubs. I’ve seen 196 players don the Cardinal uniforms in them play 37 games, first in 2000 at Wrigley Field and most recently in a double header sweep against the White Sox last June.

Tigers All Time Leaders – Through 2025
To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers began life in 1894 as part of the Western League and became a charter franchise of the American League in 1901, making them the oldest one city, one name franchise in the American League. I’ve seen 286 players wearing the Tigers uniform in the 65 of their games that I’ve attended live, including the second game ever, and my first game, at the new Comiskey Park and home games at both Tiger Stadium and Comerica Park.

2026 Tickets – Northside Edition
For the eighth straight season, the Cubs are using digital tickets through the MLB Ballpark app, which were uploaded on last Wednesday. This was a much more exciting day back when physical tickets were delivered, getting a big, fancy box filled with ticket books and extras in the mail.
All Time Batting Leaders – Through 2025
Last week, we took our annual look at the all-time leaders in pitching stats for the now 1,149 games I’ve attended (and identified) between 1984 and 2025. With the first full squad spring training workout in the books, it’s time to move over to the other side of the ball and take a look at the offensive stat leaders for those games, starting with our first category:

Brewers All Time Leaders – Through 2025
To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. With a little more than a month until spring training camps open, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Brewers began life in 1969, joining the American League as the Seattle Pilots. After one year, they moved to Milwaukee and were re-christened the Brewers. In 1998, the Brewers became the first team to switch leagues when they moved to the National League as the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays joined the American League. I’ve seen 260 players don the Brewers uniforms in the 48 games of theirs that I’ve attended live, first in 1993 battling the White Sox at their old home of Milwaukee County Stadium and most recently last fall, battling the Cubs in the NLDS.

Astros All Time Leaders – Through 2025
To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Houston Astros.
The Astros began life in 1962 as the Colt 45’s, joining the National League along with the Mets, and became the Astros three years later. In 2013, they moved to the American League, becoming just the second team to switch leagues. I’ve seen 223 players don the Astro uniform in the 52 games I’ve seen them play live, including Game 2 of the 2005 World Series and the final games of the 2021 ALDS.

Dodgers All Time Leaders – Through 2025
To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers began life in Brooklyn in 1883, moving to their current home on the west coast, along with their rival Giants, in 1957. I’ve seen 177 players wearing the Dodger blue in the 30 games I’ve seen them play live, including the first two games of their 2008 NLDS sweep against the Cubs and their pennant-clinching victory in the 2017 NLCS.

To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Seattle Mariners.
The Mariners began life in 1977, joining the American League along with the Toronto Blue Jays to settle a lawsuit over the Pilots move to Milwaukee. I’ve seen 306 players wearing the Mariners uniform during the 46 games I’ve attended live, including the final night game at the original Comiskey Park, the first two games of their sweep of the White Sox in the 2000 ALDS, and a visit to T-Mobile Park in 2023.
