Over a 24-season career, Collins was able to maintain an on-base percentage of .424. This score ranks him at 13 in MLB history regarding this category. Collins sits at number 11 in terms of career hits, amassing 3315 sitting in the Hall-of-Fame. Collins ranks at number 11 in terms of wins above replacement.

17. Joey Votto (2007-Present)
Despite being a reserved player, Votto has often been referred to as “the most underappreciated great hitter of his era”. Votto was the recipient of National League MVP in 2010 but has been largely ignored when it comes to speaking about legends as he spent his entire career playing for minnows Cincinnati Reds. Canadian-born Votto maintained a .427 on-base percentage during his career, the 12th best mark in MLB history!
