MLS: Most Games Played History

I always enjoy looking at not just the all time leaders in a particular stat, but also the history of the record itself. You all probably know that Steve Ralston is the all time leader in MLS games played (regular season only). He played his 318th game on May 12, 2007, which gave him sole possession of the record over Chris Henderson. He's held it ever since.

What follows is the list of the top 25 MLS players in games played at the conclusion of each MLS season, so you can see how the list has changed over the years. Remember, this is regular season only. At the bottom of the post, you can see each player's rank at the end of each year in one table.
