List of Major League Baseball players with 1,000 runs batted in

The following is a list of 271 Major League Baseball players who have reached the 1,000 RBI milestone. Runs batted in are usually accumulated in baseball by successfully allowing a runner on base to score as a result of making contact at-bat, although a batter is credited with an RBI if a run scores as a result of his reaching first base with the bases loaded as a result of either a base on balls or being hit by a pitch.
