It's always a pleasure to see Rickey Henderson ;-) His stolen bases record probably will not be broken, but what a jerk.

Ty Cobb's .367 -- pretty far out there. I think Ted Williams was the best hitter ever, power taken into account, but Cobb had the average. (Another jerk of the first order).

Nolan Ryan's K's and no hitters -- probably unapproachable. I remember him as a wild, unreliable 5th starter on one of the coolest teams of all time, the 1969 Mets. Who knew?

Hank Aaron 17 straight 150 hit seasons -- easily breakable. All it takes is longevity.

(Number of times injected in the butt -- Barry Bonds broke that one along with Aaron's HR record).

110 shutouts -- out of reach.

Pete Rose's lifetime hits -- probably out of reach.

(picking and choosing now)

Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA will probably not be broken, partly due to rule changes. It was known as the year of the pitcher.

Joe D's 56 game hitting streak -- will be broken. (You probably know he was robbed two or three times the game it was snapped, then hit in 23 more straight games).

Barry Bonds' 73 homers in a season -- please don't even bring this up. It was as straight as a dog's hind leg.

Yankees' 5 straight World Series wins -- will be broken. It becomes increasingly likely as the rich teams sign the best players. It's not a level playing field.

Ichiro's 200 hit streak -- interesting question. It wouldn't shock me but it's quite an achievement. (But has he ever been an MVP as a singles hitter?)

.424 -- probably not. The wear and tear of more games, more travel, and relief specialists work against it.

Cy Young's 511 wins -- out of sight. (Only #4 on the list?)

Connie Mack -- probably not. No manager will ever remain employed for 50 years again. It was a different era.

Cal Ripken consecutive games played -- another longevity record. It could happen.

Back to back no-nos -- will happen. All it takes is a dominant week. Mark Buehrle came close to doing it this year. (And that over the fence catch by the substitute outfielder in the 9th was the most exciting play of this season, and most others).

You gotta love the old ballgame.
