Neyer on Raines

By Tangotiger

By the existing standards of the Hall of Fame, 4,000 times on base is a lot of times on base. Granted, Raines did not reach base 4,000 times; he reached base 3,977 times.

According to Baseball-Reference.com, Raines SAFELY reached base on error 99 times, while Retrosheet.org reports it as 103. In either case, since Raines was 23 short of 4000, he clears the 4000 plateau.
