In baseball, a double is a hit in which the batter advances to second base in one play, without the benefit of a fielding error, advancing to second on a throw to another base, or another runner being put out on a fielder's choice. [1] A batter may also be credited with a ground-rule double when a fair ball, after touching the ground, bounds into the stands or becomes lodged in a fence or scoreboard. [2]
Hall of Fame center fielder Tris Speaker [3] [4] [5] holds the Major League Baseball career doubles record with 792. [6] Pete Rose [7] is second with 746, the National League record. [8] Speaker, Rose, Stan Musial [9] (725), and Ty Cobb [10] (724) are the only players with more than 700 doubles. [6] Albert Pujols [11] has the most career doubles by a right-handed hitter with 686. Only doubles hit during the regular season are included in the totals (Derek Jeter [12] holds the record in post-season doubles, with 32). [13]
