Cy Young's 511 wins. For heavens sakes, if you pitched 25 years in the majors and won 20 games every single season, you'd still be 11 wins short.

Well we get someone to pitch for 26 years and problem solved!

Haha, yup, and he'll have to win another 12 games in year 26. Cy Young's 511 wins is just mind boggling.

Sir Alex Ferguson - most titles won with a single club - 37 so far

- most alcohol consumed while a manager of a football club.

So this is useless info but ... when I saw the thread I thought it said "Athiest/sport records that will never be broken" and was all, what wha...

Anyway, as you all were.

With how the NBA has changed, breaking the 55 rebounds in one game record by Wilt is essentially impossible.

Is Pujols the only current major leaguer with an outside shot at the hits record? He's got 2073 now and just turned 32 (or 40 or whatever). If he stays healthy, he could do it assuming he DHs the last few years of his career. God could tell him to play till 45 (or 53, etc) if he has a real shot at breaking it.

yeah wasn't that still during a time when goalies stood up and goals were easier to score?

The Favre streak could be beaten by a good kicker I think. I don't think any other position could survive that many games though.

Special teams players don't get counted as starters, and the record is for consecutive starts. So Punters and Kickers need not apply.

Jan Zelezny's 98.48M javelin throw.

Henri Richard: 11 Stanley Cups (!!)

Try doing that in a league of 30 teams vs 6 teams

 

[Derrick01]

most of federer's records set between '04 and '07 won't be broken. the two that stand out are 237 consecutive weeks at number 1, and 23 consecutive semi finals in the slams.

no one will ever beat 26 top 10 players in a row, or win 24 finals in a row again either...

Djokovic could easily do all of that since he's reached the point where he can cruise by both Nadal and Federer. Tennis outside of those 3 is a wasteland, so if you are 1 of them if you can learn to beat the other 2 then you're unstoppable.

John Surtees - Only man to win a motorcycling world championship and the Formula One world championship.

No person will ever be able to replicate this feat in the modern era of motorsport.

Henri Richard: 11 Stanley Cups (!!)

As a player. And to add to that, Jean Beliveau: 17 Stanley Cups (10 as a player, 7 as management)

I dont think any one will touch Ryan's career strikeouts

I dont think any one will touch Ryan's career strikeouts

I dunno, Mark Reynolds might have a chance

 

[Tragicomedy]

Everything related to Women's Sprint. PEDs made all of those records nigh on unbreakable.

Florence Griffith-Joyner. 100 meters. 10.49 seconds. MAAAAAAD STEROIDS. Will never be topped.

 

[bjork]

A lot of these records only stand due to Bo Jackson's shortened career.

Football

Sir Alex Ferguson - most titles won with a single club - 37 so far

Pep Guardiola could overtake this very quickly if he remains at Barcelona.

 

[Sanjuro]

MLB, pretty much any pitching statistic that is ranked by quantity. CG, innings pitched, strikeouts, etc.

 

[MrHicks]

Fedor Emelianenko

no
plenty of chances his win streak gets trumped

jon jones is still very young and if he keeps walking through people he might do it
