1) Cy Young's 511 wins as a pitcher will never be broken.
2) Johnny Vandermeer's consecutive no-hitters. to break it a pitcher would have to pitch 3 in a row.
3) Nolan Ryan's 7 no hitters.
CAN YOU NAME ANY???
THESE 3 ARE HARD & UNSPEAKABLE TO BREAK

There is a giant list of records in baseball that at this point in time look to untouchable...Here's my top ten
1. Jack Chesbro - 41 wins in one season.
2. Cy Young - 511 career wins
3. Cy Young - 749 complete games
4. Cy Young - 7,356 Innings pitched
5. Ty Cobb - .366 career average
6. Hugh Duffy - .440 season average
7. Cal Ripken - 2,632 consecutive games played
8. Pete Rose - 4.256 career hits
9.Nolan Ryan - 5, 714 strikeouts
10. Ty Cobb - 54 steals of home
Most of these are pitching records related to longevity because with the 5 man rotation guys just don't pitch enough to approach the numbers that were put up in the early 1900's. The game has changed so much since then that the majority of the records set then will stand for a long long long time.

I think Joe DiMaggios 56 game hitting streak isi pretty unbreakable. I mean I dont think anybody has even gotten to 50, so 56 seems pretty out of reach. Roger Hornsby's single season batting average (.424) will never be beat. I mean no one has even hit over .400 since Ted Williams. Jack Chesbro's single season record for wins (41) wont be broken cause starting pitchers nowadays usually only get about 30 starts a season, so I doubt anyone beats that. Those are just the first ones that come to my head.

I don't imagine any of those will be broken. Dimag's 56-game hitting streak is another on that list. No one will stick around long enough anymore to break career marks, and many of the single-season or one-time event things require a lot of luck in addition to skill.
Still, no one ever thought Gehrig's 2,130 games played streak would be broken, or George Sisler's 256 hits in a season would, either, and they both have fairly recently, so who really knows?. . . .

I don't think you will ever see anyone come close to challenging Rickey Henderson's most career steals record. Plus, his single season steals record.
Most career strikeouts by Nolan Ryan will never be broken.
.440 avg for a season by Hugh Duffy will never be touched, I think you may possibly see a .400, but not .440.
Ty Cobb having the highest batting avg for 9 consecutive seasons.
Lastly, you'll never again see a 15-year player on the field in a major league game. (Joe Nuxhall)

3 things......
a) no pitcher ever wins 511 games
b) no more .400 hitters
c) no one breaks Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting
streak with all of the media concentration that
these guys have today

These are in no particular order
1. The 511 Win Record
2. Pete Rose's career hit record
3. The consecutive no hitter record
There are more, but these stand out in my mind.

Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak. In over 60 years nobody has come closer than 12 games from it.

Those are definitely not going to be broken. I would make Cal Ripken's consecutive games played streak number three.
