Are there any records that will never be broken??

[Tigerfan1974]

I think safe records are -

Young' s 511 wins
Rose's 4256 hits
DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak
Ryan's 7 no-hitters
Aaron's 2297 RBI
Henderson's stolen bases; 1406 - career, 130 - season
Ryan's 5714 strikeouts
Ripken's 2632 consecutive games

I think 73 HR in a season may be beat some day.
I think 755 HR in a career may also one day fall.

Will we ever see another -
400 hitter?
hitting Triple Crown winner?
30 game winner?

What say you?

Any other records that may stand forever?
Any record you think may fall? By who?

Cy Young's 511 wins will never be broken, nor will Cy Young's 749 complete games or Walter Johnson's 110 complete-game shutouts. Use of specialized relief pitchers will not allow so many complete games to be pitched.

Homeruns? I don't know -- someone may reach 90 or 100 someday (especially if seasons are made even longer). Certainly the 755 career homerun record will be broken, by Bonds or someone else.

[Bench 5]

Here's a few more:

Lifetime shutouts - 110 Walter Johnson
Most triples - 309 Sam Crawford
Season Triple - 36 Chief Wilson
Walks Season - 232 Barry Bonds
Lifetime average - .367 Ty Cobb
RBIs in a season - 191 Hack Wilson
Lifetime hits - 4,256 Pete Rose Don't bet on it

The records for starting pitchers, i.e. career wins, complete games, shutouts, wins in a season, etc. will not be broken because the game is played differently. Same for batting average records. No one will ever hit .400 unless they are a pure contact hitter, and there aren't any of those currently.

Hank Aaron's home run record will, unfortunately, be broken by Barry Bonds next year.

73 home runs in a season will probably be broken someday, though home runs are down around baseball, so it might not be for a while.

There will be another Triple Crown winner. Pujols is the most likely candidate.

Aaron's RBI record will eventually be broken - I say A-Rod will do it.

It's possible that Rose's hits record, Ryan's K record, and Rickey's steals will oneday be topped, but they were unique talents. It takes unique players to set those records. I don't think any current player will approach those records.

Virtually all those guys broke records that were previously deemed unbreakable.

" though home runs are down around baseball "

Homeruns are NOT down around baseball, I already started a thread proving that theory wrong.

Anyway, I think any record is possible breaking, especially any homerun record.

A record That I dont think we'll ever see is a 50/50 season, 50 homeruns and 50 SB'S.

What would you call Ichiro?

Who exactly has this record?

[Blackout]

I dont see anyone breaking Hack Wilsons 191

Manny tried in 99 but missed too many games

[RuthMayBond]

I'll start with perhaps the easiest of the ones I'm keeping track of, other than that the game has been going more towards offense. Hershiser's 59 straight shutout innings since Drysdale got within 98% of it in 1968

[abacab]

What would you call Ichiro?

Oh yeah. Yeah, Ichiro could hit .400, but I don't think he will because he's a leadoff hitter and all those extra PA's lower his chances. Personally I think the single-season hits record is more impressive than hitting .400.

[Ubiquitous]

Heres a tip if somebody else has gotten close in the somewhat near past then the record isn't unbreakable.

[Captain Cold Nose]

Who exactly has this record?

No one, and he's saying no one ever will hold that record. Not that it actually is a record, per se.
One record I am surprised has not been broken is Bobby Thigpen's single season save record. (57) And I would not be the least bit surprised if the record for home runs in a game (4) is broken in the near future.

[torez77]

You wanna see unbreakable records, look at the 19th century.

Duffy's .440
Radbourn's 59 wins
Hamilton's 192 runs
Spalding's 55-5
Nicols' 138 SB's
Kilroy's 513 K's
White's 75 CG's

Granted, a completely different kind of game.

an oft-overlooked but very respectable record is babe ruth's 177 runs scored in 1921. 177 is incredible.
