Baseball records have been kept for more than a century. Some come from newspaper stories or even handwritten game sheets. Modern records come with crisp video evidence of hits made, home runs scored, and bases stolen. Some of these records have stood for decades, with current players still struggling to break them. Changes to rules and common practices in the sport over time have made some longstanding records even harder to break. Part of the Unbreakable Sports Records? series, Baseball Records That Will Be Tough to Beat tells the stories of five record holders whose personal bests might just stand the test of time.

Unbreakable Sports Records? Series
One of the most exciting parts of being a sports fan today is watching the best athletes of this era set and break athletic records. Some records are continually updated as new sports stars take their turn at the top. Other records have remained in place for years, or even decades, challenging the top contenders to write their names in the record books. A few records seem unlikely to be eclipsed by new athletes anytime soon, if ever. Unbreakable Sports Records? is a fun and informative book series about the least likely records to be broken in six of the most popular sports played today. With striking color photographs, a fun quiz, and a useful index, this series tells the stories of some of the most impressive sports records ever set—and which athletes have the best shot at beating them.
