I know things were different then, but if we're talking about Cy Young's 511 wins as untouchable, then Ol' Hoss Radbourn's 1884 season makes Cy's total look mundane.

A 59-12 record, 678 innings and 441 strikeouts - even for that era those numbers are insane!

For Facebook users, someone posts as Ol' Hoss, commenting on sports of today. Some of the posts are hysterical.

not every player used steroids in that era look at griffey jr and jeter and they are some of the greatest ever.

Wonder what his pitch count limit was?

any player who used and admitted he used steroids should not be aloud into the hof and acoplishments should not registered through that time they used.

Any member who spells "allowed" "aloud" should not be permitted to post. LOL

I think Nolan Ryan's career strikouts will never be touched. The closest active player is Jamie Moyer (that's saying alot considering he is 50) and he isn't even halfway there. Pitchers just don't have that much longevity anymore.

well sorry my grammar is not up to your scholarly level maybe i should sue for you saying that. LOL

How about Ricky Henderson's 1406 stolen bases? #2 is Lou Brock at 928, #3 Billy Hamilton 914, #4 Ty Cobb 897, #5 Tim Raines 808.

The highest active stolen base leader is 34 year old Juan Pierre at 565, then 38 year old Ichiro with 432, then 30 year old Carl Crawford at 427. Even if Crawford stayed healthy and stole 60 bases/season for the next 10 years he'd still fall 400 short of Ricky!

Someone has to AVERAGE 70 SBs a season for TWENTY seasons just to come close to Ricky. Or 100 SBs a season for 14 years. The last person to get 100 SBs was Vince Coleman in '87. So I think Ricky's record is safe for a while

Congrats to ARod on his 23 GS's. I hope he cares less about individual achievements and focuses on his teams goals.

A tip of the Boli to him!

Then how am I supposed to modulate?

As far as Arod.....not a fan.

Cy Young's win record is the safest imo.......though 110 shutouts is right there too for the Big Train....
