Ryan was one of a kind. Very much a freak of nature and his record is safe in my lifetime for sure. The game will continue to evolve, but his career SO record, Pete's hit record and Henderson's SB are 3 I dont expect to see broken with any current players. Cal is 100% safe too. I can probably think of a half dozen more that you all already know. Thing is, new records will be made and two generations from now the same argument will be made.
I'm a fan of Trout, but my money is on sub 500 hr's and sub 300 career avg. Another 6 years won't be enough and most shocking will be if he plays more than that.
