NPB Career RBI Leaders

Discussion in the Records and Milestones forum

There are 79 players with at least 700 career RBIs, but I have only ID'ed 78. The missing one is in the 700 - 799 range. The ones I have are:

799-Tsutomu Ito          731-Seiji Sekiguchi
798-Akitoshi Kodama      722-Yasuaki Taihoh
785-Futoshi Nakanishi    708-Tomoaki Kanemoto
783-Norihiro Nakamura    708-Isao Shibata
781-Kinji Shimatani      707-Tuffy Rhodes
776-Jintan Haku          705-Yoshinori Hirose
753-Toru Sugiura         701-Shigeru Kurihashi
742-Kazuyoshi Tatsunami

This is driving me nuts, appreciate any help to ID this player/#. Thanks!

According to this page, you're actually missing two:

785-Kazuo Horii 764-Isamu Fujii

I do hope that this doesn't throw things off for you. Perhaps some more search results [Google] should be checked to confirm this.

Also, the above link has Kodama hitting 788 RBIs, not 798. So you'll probably want to double check that figure with a third and/or fourth source to see where the typo is.

Thank you for the new info, Robert! I will have to cross-check my entire list against the sources I used.

Wow, I just checked Akichan's website, and she has a new list of all 258 players with 400 or more RBIs, plus active players with 300+! She shows Kodama with 788, as you indicated, Robert. Also, confirms the Horii and Fujii numbers you provided. She shows 80 players with 700+. My project just got easier. [Link]

Thanks again, Robert!
