Neither of those records will be broken for a long time. It would be hard for a strikeout pitcher to last as long as Ryan did, and the stolen base is not as big a part of the game as it once was. During the steroid era a runner on first was just supposed to stand there and wait for a home run, and the stolen base became a lost art.


3. NFL passing yards

Peyton Manning

4. NFL rushing yards

Emmitt Smith

5. NFL receiving yards

Jerry Rice

6. NBA points scored

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

7. NBA rebounds

Wilt Chamberlain. There were few if any other 7-footers in the league back when Wilt played.

8. NHL goals scored

Wayne Gretzky
