List of Major League Baseball career runs batted in leaders - wikipedia List of Major League Baseball career runs batted in leaders Hank Aaron, career leader of runs batted in. The following is a list of Major League Baseball players who have reached the 1,000 runs batted in ( RBIs ) milestone. RBIs are usually accumulated by a batter in baseball by successfully allowing a runner on base to score as a result of making contact at - bat ( except in certain situations, such as when an error is made on the play or during a double play ), though a batter is credited with an RBI if a run scores as a result of his reaching first base with the bases loaded as a result of either a base on balls ( walk ), or being hit by a pitch, or interference.
