What MLB player set the record for regular-season games played by a player who never reached the postseason?



It has to be a member of the Cubs, of course: Ernie Banks.

January 31, 1931 - January 23, 2015

Rest in Peace, Ernie. You get to play two every day now.

I wish I had been born soon enough to see him play just one.

Another great obit from the people that set the standard - The NYT:
