Maybe we have a challenger here for consistency. Stumbled upon this fella. He's not your guy, but he's got a 10 year run that doesn't deviate very much at all. Bonus points if anybody guesses who it is. He also played for the same team his whole career.

Dave, thanks for contribution and this contest may be closer than we both think. Your guy's eighth year is clearly an outlier in multiple columns. So I would call him a 7 year man in terms of consistency.

My guy's career was not limited to 7 years. I'm guessing one of his eighth years (before or after the seven shown) would compare favorably to your example, but this is what I was looking for in terms of other players who were noted for consistency, if nothing else.

Dave, My guy's eighth year is a better fit to his streak, than your unnamed entry. I will put you in 2nd place though (so far).

It’s surprising how little this guys name comes up nowadays. Not a superstar, but a solid player.

His Rookie card was slightly hot for a minute or two.

Dave and Peter,

Bernie was an excellent choice and would likely be on the Top Ten Consistency list, if one existed.

How about his teammate Derek Jeter?

To avoid confusion, Frank informed me that the player he is looking for did play for a second team at the end of his career.

A formative experience in my early days of collecting was when I was given a big box of 1980s-90s cards that some friends found in the attic of the house they moved into. I pored over their card backs and their stats are still engrained in me.

Seeing Hrbek's stats again are like meeting again a friend from my early childhood that I had forgotten.
