What is the most important record in sports history?

Question

I, along with most true sports fans have long considered baseball's homerun record the most hallowed(important) sports record around. Now that all of baseball's stats have been tainted by steriods (especially Barry Binds and the HR record) what do you think is the most impprtant sports record around?

Answer 1

Most IMPORTANT?

I don't think any sports record is important.

Which is most IMPRESSIVE? There's a BIG difference.

The most impressive is the record for MOST record setting career home runs.

When Babe Ruth set the career Home Run Record, it was like 250. When he finished the career record was 714... so basically he hit about 460 record home runs. He was esentially THREE TIMES the home run hitter of anyone that had played the game before him.

In order to match that record, a player would have to hit about 1200 home runs... which will NEVER happen.

Second most impressive? Cy Young's 511 wins.

Or maybe it's UCLA's win streak?

Johnny Van Der Meer's two consecutive no-hitters? You may not be impressed, but when will ANYBODY throw three in a row and break it?

Answer 2

I kinda agree with you, the HR record is the most appreciated.

Other records that I'd put in as Honorable mention would be:

1. The most Superbowl Wins.
2. The record in the 100-yard Dash.
3. Cal Ripkins games played streak.
4. Most games in a row with a hit.

I think, however, that they should throw out every baseball record for the past 15 years because of steroids. As it is many youth today find baseball boring. In the long run, steroid use will only cause more people to turn away from the game.

I think the NFL Career rushing record is the most important in sports cause of the beating a running back takes over a career compare to a baseball player. Plus it's a lot harder to do cause of the abuse the body takes over a career and also depends on the strength of his offense line blocking for him. That's why I think it's more hallowed record than the baseball home run record.

Answer 5

All records are tough to break. But for anyone who's ever played hockey must realize that winning one STANLEY CUP is tough enough. You have to go through a grueling season and the playoffs are just as long and grueling as the regular season. Now try going winning four straight? Five straight? No team has ever done that. In the expansion era in the NHL only the New York Islanders were able to accomplish this. So, think about it.

Answer 6

Doesn't matter how many games somebody played if they sucked the last 5 yrs. If someone played 20+ yrs, they better have put up the numbers(Ryan, Rose,Aaron,etc.) As far as scoring 100pts, great feat but nobody would let that happen again. Consecutive hits and scoreless innings are impressive, but still not the most important. In sports its all about the wins(Cy Young-511)

Answer 7

Having lived in Arlington during the era he pitched for the Rangers, I can personally attest he is the best:

NOLAN RYAN:
With a blazing fastball that approached 100 miles per hour and a work ethic like none other, Nolan Ryan dominated hitters for an unparalleled 27 seasons on his way to 5,714 strikeouts, an all-time record. During four decades of prominence, he totaled 324 victories and a host of major league records. Most notable of his milestones are a mystifying seven no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. The eight-time All-Star fanned a single-season record 383 batters in 1973, and his career strikeouts encompassed 1,176 different players.

Answer 8

Sports betting systems are sets of events that when combined for a particular game for a particular sport represents a profitable betting scenario

Answer 9

The world record for 100m dash is what I would normally say, but that record is just as tainted as Barry Bonds. So instead, let's go with an undefeated season in the NFL.

Answer 10

It used to be 61 and 755. But juiced balls, small ballparks, and performance enhancing drugs killed that. I remember when hitting 40 home runs made you one of the most feared power hitters of the game. That's not the case anymore.

So my vote now goes to Joe Dimaggio's 56 consecutive game hit streak.
