Doug Kern tweeted this information on Monday night:

Most games with 3+ hits and at least 1 RBI, Cardinals history (incl post):
Stan Musial     251
Rogers Hornsby  160
Albert Pujols   133
Jim Bottomley   124
Enos Slaughter  121
Lou Brock       116
Joe Medwick     107
Frankie Frisch  105
Yadier Molina   100 (incl Mon)
Ken Boyer        99

There is such a difference between #1 and #2 in that list, I wondered who the career leaders in all of MLB were. This list is regular season only.

Ty Cobb         304
Stan Musial     250
Al Simmons      243
Pete Rose       237
Lou Gehrig      228
Rogers Hornsby  226
Henry Aaron     224
Willie Mays     215
Harry Heilmann  210
Goose Goslin    209
Alex Rodriguez  206
Paul Waner      203
Tris Speaker    201
Miguel Cabrera  201

That's the Top 14, everyone with 200+ games with 3+ hits and at least one RBI.

Babe Ruth and Roberto Clemente are tied for 15th with 197 games. Albert Pujols leads all active players with 185 (he's 23rd), two behind Ted Williams.

Red Sox Top 10:

TSW               187
Carl Yastrzemski  174
Jim Rice          161
David Ortiz       124
Wade Boggs        123
Bobby Doerr       106
Dwight Evans       98
Dustin Pedroia     91
Nomar Garciaparra  87
Mike Greenwell     81

Xander Bogaerts is 14th with 73.

What about 3+ hits, 2+ runs scored, and 2+ RBI?

Lou Gehrig      111
Babe Ruth       101
Alex Rodriguez  100
Stan Musial      93
Willie Mays      93
Al Simmons       92
Ty Cobb          92
Albert Pujols    85
Henry Aaron      85
Ted Williams     81
Jimmie Foxx      81

Manny Ramirez is 18th all-time, with 71 games.

How about reaching base five times in a game (excluding reaching on an error)?

Ted Williams      65
Ty Cobb           51
Barry Bonds       50
Lou Gehrig        49
Stan Musial       48
Babe Ruth         45
Jimmie Foxx       41
Wade Boggs        41
Pete Rose         38
Charlie Gehringer 37

If you include reaching base on an error, TSW still leads with 69. Gehrig moves up to #2, with 58, followed by Cobb (54), Ruth (53), Musial (53), and Bonds (53).

Reaching base six times in a game (excluding ROE):

TSW tops this list also, with nine games. (Three of those games came within a three-month stretch in 1946.) Jimmie Foxx had seven games. Williams hit .821 (23-for-28) and Foxx  hit .875 (28-for-32). 

Larry Walker had five games and he batted 1.000 (14-for-14). Kiki Culyer had four games and he went 19-for-19.
