Because I'm still very bored at the auto shop...
Looking to pass time, I decided to see who are the active leaders in every statistical category. Baseball-reference.com made it easy to find. So I'll pass it on to you:

If it makes you feel any better, Jim, my car's just come out of the shop after the fellow could not determine why the engine light had gone on ... but they were real quick to identify all other sorts of problems ... this just a few months after an overall checkup.
Ahem.
What a business!
