A question about Pete Rose Records [View all]

Reading in a paper today summarizing Pete Roses life. It listed his baseball records and two baffled me.

He is career leader in PLATE APPEARANCES (15,890)

He is career leader in AT BATS (14,053)

I’m lost and you guys are more fun than Google. What the heck is the difference?
