Answer
Ty Cobb ranks fifth all-time in games played in Major League Baseball, having taken the field 3,035 times over his 24-year career. This places him behind only Hank Aaron (3,298), Babe Ruth (2,503), Carl Yastrzemski (3,308), and Pete Rose (3,562). Cobb's longevity and consistency are remarkable considering the era in which he played, as he debuted in 1905 and retired in 1928.
