Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a record book full of baseball milestones for bases on balls — including most bases on balls in a career, most bases on balls in a single single and most bases on balls in a game records.

"I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." - Hall of Fame Slugger Babe Ruth in Babe: The Legend Comes To Life (Robert W. Creamer, Simon & Schuster, 04/15/1992, Dustjacket)

During the 1996 season Ozzie Guillen set the Major League record for fewest base on balls in a full season of play (at least one-hundred fifty games played) with ten.

Several players have received two bases on balls during the same inning; however, George Selkirk (1936), Eddie Stanky (1950) and Skeeter Webb (1940) are the only three players who had two bases in balls during an inning in two different games during the same season.

Did you know Hack Wilson of the 1926 Chicago Cubs led the league in base on balls with sixty-nine setting a new Major League record for fewest base on balls by the league leader?
