Records that will never be broken

[bigboydan]

There are a number of records that are deemed unbreakable IMO. Although the one that stands out to me the most is most definitely Cy Young's 511 wins.

Ain't nobody gonna come close to that one.

[RIPmyson]

Cal Ripken consecutive games.

[VegasDave]

Gretzky's point record.

His goal record is breakable, but 2800+ points equates to 20 140 point seasons... never gonna happen.

You're probably right, but I could see them changing the rules for assigning wins to pitchers that might affect that.

Some single season records that come to mind are:

• Complete Games: All-Time mark of 75 set by Will White in 1879, or Jack Chesbro's 'modern' mark of 48 in 1904.
  
• Triples: Owen 'Chief' Wilson's 36 in 1914 looks pretty safe. Something like 6-7 players have broken 20 in my lifetime (which is a pretty long time), with Curtis Granderson's 23 last year the most on that list.
  
• Intentional Walks: Barry Bonds' 120 in 2004. Second most on the list is almost half that many, 68 by Bonds in 2002.
  
• Shutouts: Pete Alexander's 16 in 1916 for the 'modern' record. The lush started 45 games that year, and with today's starters rarely exceeding 32-33, it means a whitewash thrown every other start.

2.4 inch long male organ. you can't get any smaller than this.

[frostno98]

Terrell Davis seven consecutive 100 yard games in the Playoffs

[Immortality]

Vandemeer's back to back no-hitters. Someone may tie it but no one will ever throw 3 in a row to break it.


Even though it was only set a few years ago, I don't see anyone breaking Gagne's 84 consecutive saves streak.

Fatoine sucks. Ugh.

Enjoy!

[Deuce]

Chamberlins shit for sure.

[HedgeHog]

Favre's consecutive starts, especially for qbs.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Hmm. Since there's so much discussion about Favre lately, how about his consecutive starts at QB record? 253.

[daggerkobe]

66 hotdogs in 12 min

[Brady2Moss]

Randy moss 23 TD's

[Stumpage]

[*]Complete Games: All-Time mark of 75 set by Will White in 1879, or Jack Chesbro's 'modern' mark of 48 in 1904.

This is the absolute definition of a "Lock", as pathetic as that word is.....I'm wondering if some of the present day "horses" will have 48 complete games in their careers when all is said and done, not to mention 75 for Christ's sake.....

[moneyline]

The only record that will NEVER be broken is the high score in professional bowling ... 300

Oh, and number of TD's scored in an OT football game ... 1

As well as the fastest pitch in major league history ... 122 MPH (SID FINCH) ...

[Stumpage]

Fastest 9 inning MLB game (51 minutes).....That's gonna be a tough beat as well.....

[SBR Lou]

Brett Favres consecutive start streak... The man of hour

[zootiehead]

3 errors in an all star game.

[SBR Lou]

3 errors in an all star game.

Please do not remind me, thanks for leaving out that the same player failed to hit merely a sacrifice fly Twice in extra innings.

[rm18]

Manning has over a 50% chance to break Favre's streak

[rm18]

2 grand slams in an inning Fernando Tatis

[rm18]

Archie Griffin two Heisman trophies

[Tsoprano]

Too bad Bonds broke the home run records of people who actually hit honest home runs. His sneaky ass is in the books on top of them.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Manning has over a 50% chance to break Favre's streak

50%? I'd gladly book that at 2:1 for you...

[rm18]

I cant get paid for like 6 years so I would never touch it, but I think he l think he makes it that long only missed one play his while career. Favre is kind of tough for playing with injuries but the way he plays is a joke always fading away on his throws to try to avoid getting hit.

In the NFL anyway ( 1 has been tied often), but college football can score forever in OT. What is the record for most TD's in a college OT?

[EddieJones]

The time I won 10 straight hands in BJ. If I had only doubled up every bet..

I would of probably been a wimp and never hit the 16 or the 13 or the 12.
