Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. This is the list of Major League Baseball players who have played in at least 2,500 games in their career.

The first player to reach the plateau was Sam Crawford, who reached it during his final season (1917). Crawford's record was subsequently broken in 1924 by Ty Cobb, who would go on to become the first player to reach 3,000 games played. Cobb's record of 3,035 games played lasted for 46 seasons, until Hank Aaron would break the record. Aaron's record was subsequently broken by Carl Yastrzemski in 1983, and finally broken the following season by Pete Rose, who currently holds the record for most games played at 3,562.

The most recent addition to the group was Adrian Beltre, who reached his 2,500th career game in 2015. As of the end of the 2015 season, there are currently five active players who have reached the 2,000 game plateau.
