Abstract: In considering the problem of ranking some of the greatest active sports records, we examine three categories of sports records---season records, career or multiple-year records, and daily or single game records. Within each category, we compare a number of outstanding records using the analytic hierarchy process. We discuss the hierarchies, data requirements, and evaluation results in detail along with a host of interesting comparison issues.
