A triple dead heat for sure.

The hundred point game is much tougher because only a few people can do it, baseball anyone can do it it’s kind of random and you need luck

Grand Slam (Real Grand Slam) in golf ?

**Mike Huntertz** · 04-11-20, 11:46 AM

I see one MLB game a year in Seattle. Got lucky and was at Felix Hernandez's perfect game.

**TommieGunshot** · 04-11-20, 11:55 AM

An undefeated season in MLB .

**habitualwinning** · 04-11-20, 11:56 AM

With all due respect to the perfect game, batting .400 is a harder feat. It hasn't been done since WWII. Probably will never be done again.

In the PGA you'll see a hole in one a few times a year.
In the NHL you'll see a hat trick every now and then, you'll even see a goalie actually score a goal.

There have been over 214,000 MLB games played in the history of the game.
There have been 23 total perfect games pitched.

Chew on that for a second, you'll see a perfect game pitched once every 9300 games or so.

chew on that?

you arbitrarily made up what statistics you wanted to use

i dont know how many rounds of golf have been played, but why wouldnt you use 59 for 18holes?

what a clown

**romecloneout** · 04-11-20, 12:51 PM

Cal Ripken Jrs streak.
Too many puzzies nowadays to even come close to it.

More rare than a perfect game. Close thread.

I just threw out a few examples.

Silly me for thinking some of you were capable of origninal though.

well you are listing a baseball perfect GAME

in golf, you listed 1 fukkin shot

silly me for thinking youd use common sense and make it a GAME/ROUND of 59

like i said, clown

**RudyRuetigger** · 04-11-20, 01:22 PM

hat trick.....thats for game

**JohnGalt2341** · 04-11-20, 01:40 PM

The record below will NEVER be broken. Kim Jong Il shot a -38 under par on a par 72 course.

I believe it too! He's exactly as credible as others that have his style.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 04-11-20, 01:40 PM

The number of busts that an NFL team has chosen with a #1 draft pick.

That’s gotta be a Raiders record that will never be broken.

I think you didnt realize a hole in one is 1 shot whereas the others mentioned are full game

a 59 is the easy comparison

quit doubling down on your ignorant first post and just say, oops my bad....lets look at a 59 in golf

**habitualwinning** · 04-11-20, 01:47 PM

Just my opinion but I think the best answer to this question wouldn't involve common sports. I would look at something like endurance or extreme sports. Most of us played baseball, soccer, football, golf etc. growing up. How many of us have hit the 7 summits or won an ultra marathon before? Those feats are already more impressive to me than the big tv sports just based on the amount of stamina and fitness a person needs to be in just to even attempt. Fat asses play football and baseball. Let's see one of those fatties win a 100 mile ultra or summit K2 in record time. They wouldn't even come close.

**unusialsusp5** · 04-11-20, 01:49 PM

the 98yd punt in the nfl that didn't go into the end zone. steve o'neil, nyj

**habitualwinning** · 04-11-20, 01:54 PM

If we're going just major sports though, then I think Ripken's Ironman streak and the current world record for fastest mile run are the most impressive. 100 pts in NBA and .400 ba in MLB are damn impressive but the first two records I mentioned are safe for life. Nobody will best those.

OK, I just took a further look at all the sub 60 shot rounds of golf in PGA history.
There have been ten of them.
There have been nine rounds where 59 was recorded, and one round of 58 (which is the record)

I don't know how many rounds of golf there have been played in PGA history but my educated guess would be a shitload.

So..... upon further review the sub 60 round of golf would be just as a rare as a perfect game if not rarer.
That's my final stance on that.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 04-11-20, 02:06 PM

Redskin’s linebacker London Fletcher playing 15 seasons and never missing a single game is pretty fukkin impressive.

That happens as often as a perfect NFL season, so yeah.

**pattymayo** · 04-11-20, 02:12 PM

How do you define accomplishment? I wouldn't compare a perfect game to a hattrick in hockey.

Are we talking records too? Because there are tons of baseball records that will never be sniffed.

Hack Wilson 191 RBI in 1930.
Nolan Ryan 5714 strikeouts
Every stolen base record Rickey Henderson has

Also as rare as winning the Heisman Trophy twice, which has only happened one time.

**clockwise1965** · 04-11-20, 02:13 PM

A regular season NBA game that all the players actually care if they win.

**Black Coffee** · 04-11-20, 02:15 PM

Almost hate to add this one....

Laettner's perfect game with nail in the coffin shot...

Isn't that interesting

Everyone says the hitters are too good
The pitchers suck
Pitching watered down

Yet aside from Gywnn and Brett and Carew nobody sniffing .390 let alone .400 in last 80 years

Because to hit .400 today you have to make contact while keeping the ball in the park.
Today's batters don't make contact nearly as often as in the past because they are either taking a base on balls or breaking strike out records. To bat .400 you have to get a hit and walking and striking out isn't going to do it especially if they're swinging for the fences every at bat.

Look at the list of hitters in the past that hit .400 or apporached .400
Great contact hitters all that wasn't interested in a homer.
Wade Boggs said if he hit a homerun it was a mistake.
