No, this post is not about Eliot Ness and his bunch, it is about baseball records that probably will never be surpassed. Records are made to be broken. No one ever thought Ruth’s 60 homers would be topped. Yet in 1961, 13 years after the Bambino died, Roger Maris did just that. The pressure of the chase caused him to lose some of his hair.
They thought no one would ever pass the Babes 714 homers either, but on April 8, 1974, Hammering Hank did just that with a blast to left off of Dodger lefty, Al Downing for # 715.
