I think all records can be broken. If they've been done a first time, there's no reason they never will be again. Of course, in today's game, alot of records seem unattainable, but if the game changed significantly, perhaps some records would change.


Anyway, Gossage never pitched more than 141.7 innings in a season with less than 29 starts. The record, I believe, is Dr. Michael Grant Marshall's 208.3 IP in 1974. Marshall published an article a while ago about how the "traditional" pitching motion hurt pitchers' arms when it's not really necessary. I can't find that article, however.
