**In this series we strive to prove the universal truth that every baseball player holds some kind of record.**
Carl Crawford and Rogers Hornsby are the only two players to improve their batting average and home run totals in five consecutive years. The most impressive part I think is the batting average part of the record. Crawford improved from .281 to .315 from 2003-2007 while Hornsby went from .281 to an amazing .401 from 1918-1922.

If you read them closely, it's not like they are all the #1 guy in all the major categories. Instead, they chose things like "3rd all time batting average in Blue Jays history", or "most stolen bases by a second year player in the post season at home".
I understand that the top leaders would be the same old guys except for a few, but geez, some of the records are really stretching it.
