List of Major League Baseball career extra base hits leaders

In baseball, an extra base hit (EB, EBH or XBH[1]), also known as a long hit, is any base hit on which the batter can advance past first base without the benefit of a fielder either committing an error or opting to make a throw to retire another base runner (see fielder's choice). Extra base hits are often not listed separately in tables of baseball statistics, but are easily determined by calculating the total of a batter's doubles, triples, and home runs.

Hank Aaron, the all-time leader in extra-base hits.

Hank Aaron[2][3][4] is the all-time leader with 1,477 career extra base hits. Barry Bonds[5] (1,440) and Albert Pujols[6] (1,405) are the other players with more than 1,400 career extra base hits. Only 39 players all-time have reached 1,000 career extra-base hits.
