Roy Campanella's remarkable 57.4% caught-stealing percentage showcases his defensive brilliance. This record's uniqueness and the evolving nature of baseball tactics make it a lasting achievement.
Pete Rose's record of 10,328 outs highlighted his exceptional longevity in the game. The challenges of matching his extensive career and the changing role of older players make this record secure.

Nolan Ryan, a baseball athletic marvel, led in walks and strikeouts for years. His 2,795 walks are a huge margin over others. Ryan's uniqueness and modern baseball's preference for control make his record safe.
Total Zone stats may be outdated, but they show Robinson's defensive brilliance. His 293 runs saved are unmatched, making him the greatest defensive third baseman. Modern stats emphasize defense, making his record secure.

Before 1955, intentional walks weren't tracked. Bonds' 688 intentional walks, more than Pujols' total, seem unlikely for Ruth or Williams. But such strategies declined over the years, as stats show, making Bonds' record secure.
In Cy Young's era, 400-inning seasons were common. His 7,356 innings are unmatched. Today, pitching 368 innings/year for 20 years seems impossible. Surpassing 7,000 innings will need medical advancements or robot pitchers.

Eddie Collins, with 512 successful sacrifices, dominated his era. Surprisingly, he never led in this stat. Why? Sacrificing such a talented batter is a poor strategy. In 1915, teams had 4,441 sacrifices. In 2015, only 1,200. Times have changed.
Baseball has evolved over the years, with advancements in statistics and strategies. Understanding the changing landscape of the sport is crucial to appreciating these records.
