List of Major League Baseball players who spent their entire career with one franchise
The following is a list of former Major League Baseball (MLB) players who played in at least 10 MLB seasons and spent their entire MLB playing careers exclusively with one franchise. In most cases, this means the player only appeared with one team; there are also players whose team was relocated (e.g. the Athletics) or had a name change (e.g. the Angels) during their career. Some listed players subsequently went on to coach or manage with other teams, or may have had minor league appearances with other franchises.
As of February 2021, 180 players have accomplished this feat, of which the New York Yankees have had the most, with 25. Bid McPhee and Mike Tiernan, both of whom played exclusively in the 19th century, were the first two players to complete the feat. Brooks Robinson and Carl Yastrzemski share the distinction of the longest tenure with a single team, 23 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox, respectively.
Dustin Pedroia, who spent 14 seasons with the Red Sox and last played during 2019, announced his retirement in February 2021, making him the most recent player to officially retire after a career of at least 10 seasons with just one team.[1] Alex Gordon, who spent 14 seasons with the Kansas City Royals and retired at the end of the 2020 season, is the most recent player to have concluded his playing career after spending at least 10 seasons with only a single team.[2]
Players[]
Only players who are no longer active are listed here. This list does not include active players, or free agents who have not yet retired (such players are listed below). A player is considered "inactive" if he has not played baseball for one year or has announced his retirement.

Honorable mention[]
- Bug Holliday played 10 seasons for the Cincinnati Reds franchise, from 1889 to 1898, appearing in 930 games.[147] During the 1885 World Series, one of several pre-modern World Series held from 1884 to 1890, Holliday had played in one game for the Chicago White Stockings of the National League (today's Chicago Cubs). This was Holliday's only major league appearance for a franchise other than Cincinnati. As MLB considers the first World Series to have been the 1903 edition, some baseball sites list Holliday as having only played for a single franchise.[148]
