After the formation of the National League, Eggler remained with Philadelphia, then went on to play for the Chicago White Stockings, Buffalo Bisons, and Baltimore Orioles before his career ended.

Dave Eggler now holds an unfortunate record, as his 2,544 at-bats and 2,593 plate appearances are the most by any player with 0 career home runs, statistically making him the game's least prolific home run hitter.

However, because his career began before the formation of the modern National League, the record isn't universally recognized as Eggler's.
