Records and Leaders Each year Records are broken by different players and teams. Even though there are Hall of Fame records that are broken there are still season leaders with records that are changing every day. One example is that Matt Carpenter has 15 stolen bases for the year in the National League, but that leader could change the next day when Kris Bryant gets two steels in one game and takes the lead with 16 steels. Even though there are Hall of Fame records, and league leaders there are still one more leader the team leader. For every

Baseball statistics are meant to be a representation of a player’s talent. Since baseball’s inception around the mid-19th century, statistics have been used to interpret the talent level of any given player, however, the statistics that have been traditionally used to define talent are often times misleading. At a fundamental level, baseball, like any game, is about winning. To win games, teams have to score runs; to score runs, players have to get on base any way they can. All the while, the pitcher and the defense are supposed to prevent runs from scoring. As simplistic as this view sounds, the statistics being used to evaluate individual players were extremely flawed. In an attempt to develop more

Career record. Since Pete Rose was born his peers had known he was going to be something big. He broke many world records, especially the most all time hits record with 4,256 total hits. Pete Rose earned the title National League Most Valuable Player (Lloyd 2015). With more broken records that are still set that any other famous mlb player, Rose is basically a walking legend. (Lagrave 2015) Pete Rose won the world series back to back and 44 games in a row. Pete Rose ended his last season with a overall batting average .340!

Baseball starts in the spring and ends in the fall with a total of 162 games that every team must play. The playoffs start about a week after the regular season ends, and is composed of eight teams in total, four from both the National and American league. The Playoffs are divided into 3 series, the first one being the ALDS or the NLDS in which two teams face off in a best-of-five-game series. The American and National League are each divided in a best-of-seven-game series. The world series which reigns the best baseball team in the league is made up of 7 games in which 2 teams; one from the National and American league have to reach to seven games to win the championship title. However,
It's hard to wrap the mind around the fact that some records aren't meant to be broken. It's not impossible but it's gonna take one heck of a player: “Record: Babe Ruth, .847 in 1920 Closest since 2000: Todd Helton .698 in 2000 In 1920, Babe Ruth managed to hit for a .847 SLG while leading the league in almost every offensive category. No one has even broken .700 since 2000. Better pitching, increased pitching changes and the fact that there will never be another Babe, as well as better fielding, all contribute to making this record unbreakable”(77 MLB Records That Will Never Be Broken, By Jacob Small). Who knows Babe Ruths records may be dethroned one day.
The hall of fame I decided to visit was the Men’s Basketball Hall of Fame, which is located in Springfield Massachusetts. Its overlooking the Springfield skyline and on the banks of the Connecticut River. This hall of fame was chosen to be located in Springfield instead of anywhere else in the United States because its right around the same place the game was first played. On December 21, 1891 James Naismith presented a brand new game to eighteen young men in his class, starting the phenomenon we now call basketball.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” -Joseph Campbell. This quote holds true. Our country would be nothing without our veterans and servicemen and that’s why anyone who has ever served for our country and lives in New Jersey should be in the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
For 50 years, baseball had just 16 teams, all in the Northeast and the Midwest. But after the 1957 season, baseball finally expanded to the West Coast. The leagues were split into two divisions each, the East and the West. The champions of each division would face off in a League Championship Series. Then the Winners of those series would meet in the World Series.
“Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten, and be considered a good performer.” - Ted Williams. When referring to all time greats in the world of baseball you will hear about the likes of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson, and Ernie Banks. None of these men have the most hits in baseball’s storied history. The man that does, however, is not in the Hall of Fame.
Do you think Pete Rose should be allowed in the Hall of Fame? If not, you’re very salty. Eighty-seven percent of people on debate.org who voted on this topic think he should be allowed in the Hall of Fame. They're reasons are he is the all-time hit leader, everyone deserves a second chance, etc. Pete Rose should be allowed in the Baseball Hall of Fame since the star athlete did not use steroids, has the most hits all-time, and was wrongly accused of betting on the game, not just betting on the Reds.

The day was September 8th when he hit the record breaker. Lisa said, “I remember that it was his second at bat of the game, I don't remember if it was the 3rd or 4th inning or what. I can remember him hitting it off of a right-handed pitcher with a number in the 40’s, I think. I don't remember the pitcher’s name, however. He hit it over the left field wall and I remember thinking he didn't hit it far enough to go over, but it did. It was just a special moment” (Brush). This pitcher was Steve Trachsel and he wore the number 46 according to
