Rusty Greer...Looking at answers for today's grid, the most games played by a Rangers-only player are Greer's 1,027. He was good! 100 RBI three times, .305/.387/.478 for his career, never hit under .270. Retired at 33. So I looked at his Wikipedia page: "Greer's aggressive style of play took a severe toll on his body, and he spent the remainder of his baseball career (i.e., after signing a big contract in 2002) undergoing and recovering from surgeries." He had two non-roster offers before the 2005 season but walked away.
