In the history of the major leagues, which goes to the 1800s and counts Major League Baseball and the Negro Leagues, only 124 players batted 1.000 for their career.

And 472 players finished with a 0.00 ERA.

And only two players (both were pitchers) ended their careers with both a 1.000 batting average and a 0.00 ERA.

One played in 1912.
