List of Major League Baseball career triples leaders

In baseball, a triple is a hit in which the batter advances to third base in one play, with neither the benefit of a fielding error nor another runner being put out on a fielder's choice.

[2] More distant fences in old ballparks, such as Pittsburgh's Forbes Field and Detroit's Tiger Stadium, also produced fewer home runs and more triples on well-hit balls.

[7] Hall of Famer Sam Crawford of the Detroit Tigers holds the Major League Baseball triples record, with 309.

[12] Jake Beckley (243), Roger Connor (233), Tris Speaker (222), Fred Clarke (220), and Dan Brouthers (205) are the only other players to have hit at least 200 triples.

When Reyes retired after the 2018 season, Major League Baseball once again had no active player with 100 career triples.
