Name baseball records that will never be broken?

Question

List in order from number 1 being the least likely to be broken . List at least 3 please.

O.K. For the people who said every record will be broken, Johnny Van Dameer's 2 straight no-hitters may bve tied, but NEVER broken. Can you imagine the pressure of going for consecutive no-hitters? Much less 3!

Answer 1

here are my top 3 in order.

My point is, records are meant to be broken, and nobody can say if a record is impossible to break or not. Only time will tell what records with be held and which ones wont.

Answer 2

Let me go with categories, split between hitting and pitching.

Career, hitting: wherever Bonds ends, his walks record is going to stand a long time, and I don't say this lightly. Typically, any career record set within the last 25 years is vulnerable, because gameplay conditions haven't changed enough to make an assault improbable or impossible. But Bonds has consistently demonstrated strike zone discipline like no one in history, ever. He really is one of a kind. He took the record from Henderson, who is essentially a contemporary, and he BURIED Rickey. Bonds could finish around 2700; ain't no one gonna come close to that soon.

Career, pitching: Cy Young's 749 complete games. This is the one record in baseball that will never, ever fall. Geez, pick a DECADE and every pitcher in that ten-year span probably doesn't match him, going back 40 years (I'm guessing; anyone want to throw out data?).

Season, hitting: well, I could go with Bonds' 232 walks, but let's pick something else. Wilson's 36 triples, nearly a century old, and no one has EVER come close.

Season, pitching: could name pretty much anything from the 19th century and, not only would it have stood the test of time, it will continue to do so. Looking more modern, Chesbro's 41 wins (early 20th century) is impossible just because starting pitchers don't get into that many games.

Game, hitting: I don't think we'll ever see someone post more than 12 RBI in a game like Bottomley and Whiten have done. Could happen, sure, but men have reached 12 only two times, so obviously it's hard. (Now watch it happen next week....)

Game, pitching: I feel very confident that we won't see a 21-strikeout performance. Clemens, Wood, and Johnson might get company but won't be left behind.

Streak, hitting: DiMaggio's 56 game streak is just soooo extreme -- next best is a mere 44 -- and it's so old. I just can't see it falling. It's a genuine freak record.

Streak, pitching: Anthony Young's loss streak, which was, what?, 27 or 28 games. There just isn't enough license given to someone, no matter how good or promising, to be that bad (or at least, ineffective) for that long.

Answer 3

1. Cy Young's record of 749 complete games will never be touched. No active pitcher in baseball has even started 749 games. The average career for a Hall of Fame pitcher is about 18 years. Over the last 18 years, no TEAM has 749 complete games.
2. Cal Ripken's consective game streak
3. Rickey Henderson's record for stolen bases in both a season and career.

This is not a "record" but a statistic that will never be approached. In 1920, Babe Ruth hit more homeruns than any TEAM combined that year.

Answer 4

1. Cal Ripken Jr. -Consecutive Games

2. Consecutive Games with a hit

3. Nolan Ryan- 7 no hitters

Answer 5

Cy Youngs records for career wins and losses. And all of Walter Johnson's records. And on the offensive side, Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hit streak

Answer 6

the great thing about sports is that records will alwasy be broken and set and then broken again. The competitive nature of an athlete doesnt allow him to be satisfied with almost breaking a record. There will always be new records being set no matter what.

Answer 7

1. None
2. None
3. None

All though it may seem like some records may never be broken, people said that about Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak when he set the mark at 2130. No matter what the odds are, there's no 100 percent garauntee that any record is truly unbreakable in MLB.

Answer 8

I don't know I personally think that it is possible for EVERY record to be broken. Some of them may be as close as you can get to being impossible but I think there is a chance that every record will be broken at one point or another.

Answer 9

1. 54 times Ty Cobb stole home
1a. 8 times Ty Cobb stole home just in 1912
2. 511 Career Wins for Cy Young
3. 4256 Career Hits for Pete Rose

Answer 10

1)consecutive games played - ripken

2)consective game with a hit - dimagio

3)most wins in career - cy young (511 and next closest is over 90 away) - put it this way, 25 wins for 20 seasons gives you 500 and your still short 11 wins. impossible to beat.

Answer 11

1. Cy Young - 511 career wins
2. Joe Dimaggio - 56 game hitting streak
3. Walter Young - 110 shutouts

It was really tough to list them in order from most to least since they will all be near impossible to break, but Cy Youngs 511 wins, I mean no one even comes close to that.
