The Most Unbreakable Career Baseball Records

[sarny]

This is the record which will never be broken: Johnny Vander Meer's Two Consecutive No-Hitters. A pitcher would need to pitch three consecutive no hitters to break this record

[cteal]

Robin Ventura getting 7 hits from Nolan Ryan in 1 AB will never be broken...

[stevegallo]

I would put Nolan Ryan's 7 career no hitters in the class of unbreakable records, as pitchers getting complete games are rare enough. Others include Ty Cobb's career batting average and Cal Ripken's consecutive games played.

[williamseifert]

Cal Ripken's 2632 consecutive games record will NEVER be broken.

The fact that it's not on this list is absurd.

Ted Williams career OBP of .482 is one of the most insane stats ive ever seen.

[chaosawaits]

Ty Cobb's career batting average will also probably never be broken (.366). 7 MVP's by Barry Bonds seems pretty difficult. Ted Williams career OBP (.482) seems unbreakable; only 4 players who've played over the last 60 years have even cracked the top 25.

Well, here's one record that will never be broken. Warren Spahn pitched 20 or more complete games for 13 straight seasons, and hardly anyone ever speaks of it.

One of my feelings, not really a thought, is sadness at the fact that we may never see another Game 7 complete game shutout again. The combined no-hitter by the Astros made me yearn for Jack Morris in '91 spinning all those masterful innings. It's hard to imagine a manager letting his starting pitcher finish a game now, let alone let him keep going into extras with his shutout. RIP the fantastic baseball of my 80s youth. :(

Two records that Ted Williams also holds which likely will never be broken. In 1949, he reached base in 84 consecutive games. In 1957, he reached base in 16 straight plate appearances. I think we will likely see Dimmagio's 56 game hitting streak broken before either of these records are broken.

[TexasSportsTV]

Also unbreakable. 7 no-hitters by Nolan Ryan.

[pauledmonds]

Could have added another Cy Young record to this list as well. He also holds the major league record for losses as well.

Listening to this and trying to comprehend how these guys did this is just absolutely mind boggling. 7, 000 innings and over 500 wins is just ridiculous to think about in the majors. Still am mind blown while writing this! Need more content like this!

[stephenconnors]

My candidate for an unbreakable record is Phil Knell's 54 hit batters in 1891. You know he had to have had a lot of near misses too. Nowadays, if any pitcher hit that many batters guys would be charging the mound right and left. Poor Phil wouldn't survive the season. He'd be beaten to a pulp.

[adamsmith]

Since you had Pete Rose on there think about this: 4256 hits are crazy right? But someone one of these days will break that record compared to another record he has. At least 500 career starts at 5 different positions ( 1B, 2B, 3B, RF, and LF.) It will never be broken because players just aren't versatile like that anymore

[northstarjakobs]

Since this video came out before the 2023 rule changes, we have seen a 50+ steal season (and 60+ and 70+), but even with that, I think that Rickey Henderson's single season and career records (especially the career one) are still safe. Rickey had an ungodly combination of speed, reflexes, and game sense plus durability and longevity.

[rafaelramirez]

I remember back in 1973 Yankees where Chicago White Sox Ace Wilbur Wood started both games of a double header against the New York Yankees

[AndThatsBaseball]

The Phil Coke experiment had me dying lmao I love how they chose him

[HeWhoIsNamedPatrick]

I love the thing rose said when asked should he be in the Hall of Fame, he said a player could hit 200 hits for 20 years and still be hundreds short of his record

[andrethered]

On May 1, 1920 the Braves and Robins played at Boston in front of a crowd of 2, 000 spectators. Joe Oeschger started for the Braves, and Leon Cadore started for the Robins. The game was eventually ruled a tie after 26 innings because of darkness. Oescheger only gave up 9 hits the entire game, while Cadore allowed 15. Both pitchers pitched the entire game, that will never happen again.

You think Cy Young’s records are untouchable, but there’s a wild card. Rob Manfred shortening games to three innings in the name of pace of play
