With one more appearance, Ryan Zimmerman will be the all-time leader in games played in franchise history, though that takes into account that MLB and the Nationals still keep track back to the Montreal days of the franchise.
In terms of games played by a National, meaning 2005-present, the first first round pick by the club has far and away the most games played, with 1,767 of them since he debuted late in his draft year in ‘05.
“He’s had an unbelievable career, he really has,” Davey Martinez said after Zimmerman’s 3 for 5 game in Sunday’s loss in Atlanta.
