I saw this on Facebook, and it seemed impossible, but it appears to nearly work out.
If you play in 162 over a season you're playing in 6.67% of the games that year.
I'm having a hard time finding the total number of games ever played, but it seems like it's 238,277 according to baseball reference, so I'll assume that's at least close.
Dusty played in 2039 games and managed in 4046 games. That's 2 1/2% of all games ever played.
He spent one year with the Giants as first base coach and four as a hitting coach. I can't find specific numbers, but assuming he was there all year, that's another 810 games.
All together that's 6895 games, which is 2.89% of all games ever played. Not quite 3%, but I can't believe it's that close.
