Which of the all-time records are the safest? Which is the most likely to be broken?

I think stolen bases is also safe.
Home runs is safe
56 game hit streak seems almost impossible too but I guess its not completely untouchable

You think maybe Saves could be broken at some point?

I don't think it's untouchable but given the way bullpen pitchers are being used lately I'd be surprised. We'll see how long Kimbrel's career is. I think he gets up there.GMF1991 said:

Personally, I think Pujols has a chance to break the RBI mark. He has less than 310 to go to break the record.
Also, Johnny VanderMeer's no-hitter record is pretty safe. To break it, one has to throw 3 in a row.
