'''Games played''' (most often abbreviated as '''G''' or '''GP''') is a [[statistic]] used in [[team sport]]s to indicate the total number of games in which a player has participated (in any capacity); the statistic is generally applied irrespective of whatever portion of the game is contested. In [[baseball]], the [[baseball statistics|statistic]] applies also to players who, prior to a game, are included on a [[starting lineup]] card or are announced as ''[[ex-ante|ex ante]]'' substitutes, whether or not they play,<ref>[https://ift.tt/1eZkail Section 20 of the official scorer guidelines]</ref> although, in [[Major League Baseball]], the application of this statistic does not extend to consecutive games played streaks. A [[starting pitcher]], then, may be credited with a game played even as he is not credited with a [[games started|game started]] or an [[innings pitched|inning pitched]].
'''First base''', or ''1B'', is the first of four stations on a [[baseball diamond]] which must be touched in succession by a [[baserunning|baserunner]] in order to score a [[run (baseball)|run]] for that player's team. A '''first baseman''' is the player on the team [[baseball positions|playing defense]] who fields the area nearest first base, and is responsible for the majority of plays made at that base.
[[Eddie Murray]]<ref></ref><ref></ref> is all-time leader in career games as a first baseman, playing 2,413 games at the position in his career.<ref></ref> Only twenty different first baseman played over 2,000 games at first base during their careers.<ref></ref>
