Rusty Staub, who had a career total of 2,716 hits during his 23 seasons in Major League Baseball, is the only player to have 500 hits for four different teams. He played for the Houston Colt .45/Astros (792 hits), the Montreal Expos (531), the New York Mets (709), the Detroit Tigers (582) and the Texas Rangers (102).

Staub, who broke in with Houston when he was 19 in 1963, retired as a Mets player-coach after the 1985 season at the age of 41. He, Ty Cobb and Gary Sheffield are the only players who hit home runs before the age of 20 and after they turned 40.
