Former Oakland A’s reliever Fernando Rodney is running out of time, but he still has a chance to reach the 1000 appearance plateau.
Over the course of MLB history, only 16 players have pitched in 1000 or more games. It is an exclusive group, one that seemingly will not have a new member for some time.
