In case I haven’t mentioned it enough times in this forum, the Baseball Reference Play Index is a wonderful – and at least for me, necessary – toy tool. It allows a wide variety of searches, using an increasing-by-the-day number of qualifiers and options, to spit out an endless number of lists of statistical achievements.
Today I want to review some big numbers. Multiple instances of one thousand, to be exact.
We’re gonna get all chart-y and graph-y, so off to wide-mode after the jump…
Let’s start with an easy one, and a somewhat whimsical one, at that.
How many players have batted 1.000 for a career as a Cardinal? Yes, obviously this eliminates using any number of plate appearances or at-bats as a qualifier, but there’s still a list, and there are non-pitchers on it.

Larry Herndon clearly had some pinch-running duties, and how about that Tige Stone? Two walks to boot?
Ok, you want more serious numbers?
How about one thousand games played for the Cardinals?

Some familiar names on that list? Jim Edmonds surprised me for some reason, he managed to stay pretty relatively healthy with the Cardinals until the end. Tom Herr barely made the list, I always forget how long he actually spent with the club.
One thousand Cardinal career hits? Lots of same names.

Drilling down into counting stats, the lists begin to shrink. How about one thousand Cardinal career runs batted in?
And one thousand runs?

Here’s a heady stat for the six position players with a notable number (read: greater than one digit) at-bats. And there’s also Keith McDonald. I still remember Keith McDonald’s home runs. Cardinal career OPS above 1.000:

The last one we’ll show, fittingly, only has one name. The Man’s name. Only Cardinal to amass one thousand or more walks in his time with St. Louis.

So what? One thousand is a totally random number, and I just chose stats that would provide results, right?
Well, yeah, pretty much spot on.
But as for one thousand being random – not entirely. You see, this is the one-thousandth post at Pitchers Hit Eighth. I feel like I should have had something more profound prepared, but ideally this is just another stepping stone to another few thousand posts at the site over the coming years, hopefully many more about winning World Series titles.
I did feel it necessary, however, to make note of the occasion, because it’s important not just for me but for the guys here who really shape what the site is. Thank you, many times over, to Josh, Dennis, Andrew, Dayn, the previous Andrew, and all of the various guest contributors we’ve had over the last almost four years.
Thanks to you for reading. We hope that you are routinely interested in what we have to write, are entertained some of the time, and at worst don’t feel like reading Pitchers Hit Eighth is a waste of your time. Lofty goals, I know.
Cheers, Cards fans.

WTH? This blog reaches 1000 posts which is a monumental milestone dedicated to questionable judgment and writing ability, and we get throw into a blog piece with Esteban Yan and Augenstein. Seriously? After all we have collectively done for this blog, I think the least we deserve is a team jersey or hat. Heck, I’d accept a big foam hand with the middle finger enlarged as long as the PH8 logo was on it. Truly sad.
Also, congratulations, Nick. Thanks for allowing me the chance to write about baseball while also giving me the leeway to poke fun of other people who often appear in pictures with farm animals. I couldn’t ask for more.
I’m sorry that you’re not as honored to be associated with Esteban Yan as I am.
Now see, that’s why we can’t have nice things.
If Stubby Clapp or Bo Hart were on the list, you’d be happy.
“Stubby Clapp” sounds like an STD for the vertically challenged, but I’d be fine with the inclusion of Bo Hart. Also, anything involving cake would be equally acceptable.
Congrats on the milestone, guys!
And, you know, sometimes we need reminders about Esteban Yan … although I’m not really sure why.
