Alot of buzz has come out about records with the historic weekend we just had. I have my opinion but I want to know what you think. Which record, just one, will never be broken. In your eyes?


In 1938 Johnny Vander Meer threw back to back no hittters. To accomplish the task of breaking this record you would have to toss 3 consecutive no-no's. YIKES! At-a-boy Mr. Vander Meer! If it wasnt for a shortened carear due to military obligation you would have had some above average statistics Im sure!

Nolan Ryan's 16 yrs of never missing a start

There are a lot of them:

Vander Meer's is certainly one of them
Charley Radbourne's 59 wins in a season
Cy Young's 511 career wins and 749 complete games
Walter Johnson's 110 shutouts
Sam Crawford's 309 triples

definitely cy young with 511 career wins

i mean besides randy johnson there might not be another 300 winner for another 15 or 20 years +

CY YOUNG'S 316 LOSSES.HE'S RECORD FOR COMPLETE GAMES OF 749, 815 GAMES STARTED &
7,355 INNINGS PITCHED.

Fewest defensive chances, doubleheader -- zero, Toby Harrah, when he was with the Rangers, 25-June-1976.

Imagine two games at SHORTSTOP and not a single ball or throw came his way.

I think the record that will never be broken is the Braves 14 years straight of winning the division title. That's just crazy to be that dominant for that long.

Individual records; 4 homers in a game, or more likely, 26 innings pitched in a game by Leon Cadore of Boston and Joe Oeschger of Brooklyn in 1920.

Mickey Mantle's 3.1 seconds from bat contact to 1st base. Mickey Rivers, Willie Wilson, and Vince Coleman tried like hell, but could only make 3.3. With baseball now set up for playing long ball, you won't see too many more of the lightning fast guys.

I agree with 511 wins by Cy Young
I will add that I doubt anyone will ever break Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak. Miguel Tejada came around half of his record and had to go on the DL. There is too much money invested in the players these days for the managers to try and play them through pain.

Nice question.

Cy Young record of 511 wins will never be broken. I mean they are all realdy talking about that there is never going to be another 300 game winner, now 500 games thats just out of the question!

Hank Aarons 755 Homeruns.
O Wait.
To late.
Records are meant to be broken.
And they will be.

Cy Young's 511 wins & Walter johnson's 110 shutouts.

Cal Ripken's streak will never be broken either.

I think one is Ed Walsh's career ERA of 1.82. Why?
Well now a days baseball has become an offensive game. Even the best pitchers of today have an ERA of around 3.00.
Next is Ty Cobb's career .366 average. Today people are walking alot more and it just seems like offensive ability has gone down compared to how it was in the early 1900's. That's scary considering that baseball is now a very offensive game.
#3. Is Sam Crawford's 309 triples. Today there is only a certain few that can get 10 in a season. that would take on an average to 30 seasons to get to within 9 of that record.
Everyone knows that Cy Young's records will never be broken but I think the hardest record to ever be broken is a tie between Nolan Ryan's 5,714 K's and his 7 no-no's. Even a great pitcher like Roger Clemens can get within 1000 of him. You have to play about 25 seasons to catch him. And no pitcher can do that again. No-hitters are common nowadays but you can't do them as often with the same pitcher. There are only a select few who have two or more and still play in the majors. Great question.

Three words: DiMaggio, 56, games

cy youngs 511 wins

I think Pete Rose 4256 carrer hits will never be broken, you could have 200 hits for 21 years straight and you would still only be at 4200 carrer hits.

Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak. 66 years & holding.

definatly cy young's 511 wins. He pitched for his club every other day and usually won. these days the pitchers pitch once a week almost.
