Active Major League Baseball players who have played entire career for only one team
Trivial info, most of these players are soon going to be removed from this list (half of them are free agents) violates WP:NOT and WP:LC, prod removed, Delete This is a Secret account 23:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Delete pointless article, no offense to whoever made it--Yankees10 00:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unmaintainable and as lacking encyclopedic significance. While "played entire career for only one team" is often mentioned as a trivia item about a player who makes the Hall of Fame or retires after a long career, most players who meet this criterion (and the "active" criterion) are prospects who get called up from AAA leagues in September for a bit of exposure to major-league pitching or batting.  This topic (if limited to those over some threshold such as "at least 500 career at-bats or 20 career starts or 40 relief appearances" might be appropriate for an almanac of baseball, but not for an encyclopedia of baseball (players retire or get demoted all the time), let alone a general encyclopedia.

 * Delete Semi-interesting trivia about loyal ballplayers, but it's still trivia. Maybe you can merge this somewhere.  Mandsford 01:25, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The "active" part pushes me to delete, it's hard to maintain and doesn't really serve a purpose. Wizardman  01:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unmaintainable ... how has this lasted since May 2006?  Blueboy96 23:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
