Abstract
The article discusses notable baseball records deemed "impregnable" and "vulnerable" based on a poll conducted during the 100th anniversary of professional baseball. Among the records considered unassailable are Rogers Hornsby's .424 batting average, Hack Wilson's 190 RBIs in a season, and Lou Gehrig's 2,130 consecutive games played. In contrast, records like Roger Maris' 61 home runs and Maury Wills' 104 stolen bases are viewed as more likely to be broken due to evolving player capabilities and game conditions. The article emphasizes the unpredictability of sports records and the potential for future achievements to surpass historical benchmarks. Extracted from the article
