crazy numbers.

unless we get another super speedster who can steal an avg of 100 bases a year for 14, those are pretty much locks.

I realize they are incredible records but, more than one will eventually be broken someday.
Of those 7 records, which ONE is the MOST likely to be broken first.

I don't see anyone doing 3 to break it

If some player WANTED to break the consecutive games streak, they easily could with DH in both leagues now.

You'd have to write it into the contract though.

Stolen bases would be next if the game ever returns to that 60s-90s style.

Modern players have flirted w the hit streak, that could fall.

Obviously the records of the dead ball era will never be touched, nor does the modern game allow for the accumulation of career pitching stats, so all those are pretty safe.

Whats so amazing is that Cobb, at .367, representing the complete disaster that baseball is today, with only Luis Arreaz hitting over .300 for his career.

Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn: 60 pitching wins in a season, 1884.

The days of the "pitchers box" and the 50 foot mound. Batters used to select their pitches and it took 7 balls for a walk!

Wouldn't be for another decade till we got 60.5 feet!

Yep I'd say Cy Young's records are pretty safe. Nowadays if a pitcher even comes close to winning 300 games he goes straight to the HOF. Cy Young won 511 games which is nuts when you think about it.
