3. NFL passing yards - Peyton Manning

4. NFL rushing yards - Emmitt Smith

5. NFL receiving yards - Randy Moss

Sadly, 5 out of 8 of these are guesses. In the 90's, I'd have probably aced this...

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.

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