There is 1 more, very old school guy who played his entire career pre 1900

Cap Anson. The Baseball Almanac only listed Aaron and Ruth.

That is because he played in the National Association from its start in 1871 until the National League started in 1876. There is some debate about if National Association stats should count, but he did have over 2000 if you count his entire career. But he was a huge racist and a Cub so Ill say you are right.
