  Here is the link (does not include Jeter):

  And that's only since 1950.

  Ok, so now we need another. Jeter wasnt counted.
• ernest_t_bass

  

  The most surprising one to me that was NOT on the list is Ozzie Smith.
  
  Answer:
  Jeter
  Concepcion
  Larkin
  Trammell
  Ripken
  (They said those five at the park last night)
  
  Vizquel (says the link I provided)
  

  the AL has 3 players who started at least 2000 of their games with one team. In the AL Ripken, Vizquel and Trammel hold that honor and in the NL Concepcion and Larkin can make claim to it as well.

• wildcats20

  

  Concepcion.
  
  
  Cal
  Concepcion
  Larkin
  Trammell
  Appling.

  Link fail. No Jeter, and Vizquel is a no.
• karen lotz

  

  Vizquel is not one of them. Played 11 seasons in CLE.
• gorocks99

  

  Park trivia fail.

  No doy. Just said that's what the LINK says.
• wildcats20

  

  Ozzie played his first 4 years with the Dads.
  
  1990 games with the Cards though.

  Says he put in 2,218 games at SS though.
• slcoach

  If I heard Marty correctly on the radio, the question started with since 1970.
• Laley23

  

  Here is one, if Tribe fans were watching the other night, they will know however.
  
  Only 2 players have ever had 100+ extra base hits in a season twice. Name them.
  
  Follow up, 13 players have done it once (including the 2 that did it twice), name them?
  
  This is a VERY easy question to look up, so dont do it.
• karen lotz

  

  I'd say one of them was probably an Indian so I'll say Albert Belle or Jim Thome. Bonds, Sosa, Ruth have to be at least part of the 13 if not the 2 repeats.
  
  McGwire?
• karen lotz

  

  Who were the Indians playing?
• Laley23

  

  1. Ruth - 119
  T-3. Bonds - 107
  T-6. Sosa - 103
  T-6. Belle - 103
  
  All part of the 13. But not part of the twice. McGwire, Thome no.
