I think if any of these is likely to happen, it would be another 652 saves... It's still a relatively new stat/position...
Then I would think that you'd also have to add the 62 saves (season). I also think that Mark Reynolds SO mark of 223 will be broken. I remember when Bonds (bobby) held the mark of (187) seemed like 30 years. But then guys like Reynolds & Adam Dunn just shattered it.
Regarding the career saves #, one would have to AVERAGE over 30 saves a year for 20 years. Or over 40 saves a year for 15 years. i just don't see it happening.
What Mo and Hoffman did save wise was ridiculous. Not only do you have to be a solid closer but you also need to be on good teams.
...one record that will never be broken is Johnny VanDermeer's 2 consecutive no hitters...someone would have to pitch 2 in a row to tie it and 3 in a row to break it.
I didn't include the obvious ones that will never be broken, VanDemeer, Bonds walk records, Ripkins record or Ryan's 7 no hitters.
