What are the sports record most likely unbreakable ,any sports ,teams or single ?

[BookerL]

Hello all

The most likely unbreakable records .

For many years many thought that Babe Ruth 60 homer in a season would never be match until Roger Maris hammered 61,and so fourth

In hockey Bobby 102 assist season seemed a high standard until Gretzky exceeded by far .

The Rockets 50 goals in 50 games beaten by Gretzky

The Rockets 8 point game ,5 goals ,3 assists beaten by Sittler's 10 points ,6 goals 4 assists .

In track and field in was long thought that no humans would ever break the below 10 second's for the 100 meters .

Pole jumping over 6 meters by Ukrainian(USSR) star Sergei Bubka ?

Sports records fascinates the people some are incredible prowess

What are the records most likely unbreakable ?

Maybe the number of threads you opened in 5months, clearly unbreakable IMO...

Btw, the french Pole jumper Lavillenie recently broke Bubka record. Probably the most incredible performance of the year !

ROFL!, Priceless...

In today's game I do not think anyone will break either of those Great One's records listed above.

Maybe the number of threads you open in 5months, clearly unbreakable IMO...

Hello Booker,

Before I saw the next post I would have said Bubka's record was one of the most breakable. Many misses in the pole vault are not about being unable to reach the height, they are about failing to concentrate on getting arms, legs, butt out of the way to clear the bar.

One-shot records like pole vaults, 100 meter dash, javelin throw always run the risk that someone with the talent will have one really great moment, and that is all it takes.

I think excellence over time is the hardest to achieve. I would then go with:

William's .406 BA

Dimaggio's 56 straight games with a hit.

The Celtics 8 straight Championships.

Gretzky's assist and points total leadership streak.

Ruth's home run total (in almost 800 fewer Games than Aaron)

Then there's the infamous flip side:

The Leafs 47 straight without reaching a finals series.

Joe.t's PREDICTION FAILURE STREAK...we have a Winner. :noidea: :lol:

UNBEATABLE!!! :eyebrows:

The Yankees have won 27 World Series Championships, a record that will never be broken in our lifetime.

Also the Red Sox went from worst to first and now back to worst, an embarassing record that most likely will never be duplicated therefor you can say that it will never be broken.:nod:

 

[hungry101]

My dad always said that the 56 game hitting streak of Joe DiMaggio would never be broken.

Ty Cobb's career batting Average of .366 is safe.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie of France broke one of track and field's oldest records when he cleared 6.16 meters (20 feet 2 1/2 inches) to beat Sergei Bubka's 21-year-old indoor record with Bubka cheering from the stands in Donetsk, Ukraine, on Saturday.

Lavillenie cleared the bar comfortably in Bubka's home city, almost to the day the pole vault great achieved 6.15 (20-2) on Feb 21, 1993.


Lavillenie, the reigning Olympic champion, looked wild-eyed and pumped his arms in delight as he realized he'd set a record, and was congratulated by Bubka, who had stood to applaud.

“I think it's going to take me some time to come back to earth because it's incredible,” Lavillenie said on French news channel BFM TV. “This is a world record that is so mythical, and to clear it on the first jump, without touching (the bar) — there's nothing to say. It's just a moment to savor.”

In fact, he cleared it so easily that he could well have beaten the record by even more.

Bubka, the Olympic champion in 1988, set multiple indoor and outdoor world records including the top seven indoor marks, and he was quick to praise his successor.

“I think this is a great day, a fantastic performance, I am very happy that Renaud did this record in my home city where I did 6.15,” the 50-year-old Bubka said on BFM TV. “I'm very happy and proud for him, because he's a great athlete and a fantastic role model."

Bubka still holds the outdoor record at 6.14 meters, set in 1994.

Bob beamon longest standing olympic record

Hello all

What about Bob Beamon's prowess?

The longest standing modern Olympic athletics record is Bob Beamon's achievement in the men's long jump at the 1968 Summer Olympics.[6] The jump, at 8.90 m (29 ft 2 in), also broke the existing world record by 55 cm (22 in), and stood as the world record for 23 years until Beamon's compatriot, Mike Powell, jumped farther in the 1991 World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo.[7] During the 2012 Games, six men's and five women's records were broken.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_records_in_athletics,

After winning the gold medal in Mexico City, he never again jumped over 8.22 m (26 ft. 11 3/4 in.).

Beamon's jump was the only time the world record has been set in Men's Olympic Long Jump competition, though Robert LeGendre did set the record as part of the pentathlon competition in 1924 and women have done it three times (1956, 1964 and 1968).

Beamon's world-record jump was named by Sports Illustrated magazine as one of the five greatest sports moments of the 20th century. His world record was finally broken in 1991 when Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m (29 ft. 4 3/8 in.) at the World Championships in Tokyo, but Beamon's jump is still the Olympic record and 46 years later remains the second longest wind legal jump in history.

DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak has stood since 1941 and the closest anyone got was Pete Rose's 44 game streak in 1978 which was an amazing streak in and of itself. Due to the advent of modern bullpens and hard throwers coming on in the late innings, the likelihood of this streak ever being broken is very small. DiMaggio was a very unusual hitter in that he was very hard to strike out even though he had substantial power. To be able to hit the ball hard and make contact consistently, and not walk a lot so that you have more ABs in which to get possible hits, is essential to having such a streak. Very few hitters have all of these qualities in one package. What is interesting is that DiMaggio also had a 56 game hitting streak in the minors, so he did it twice!!!!

Ted Williams' .406 will also be hard to break, although Tony Gwynn hit .394 in 1994 and George Brett hit .390 in 1980. These flirtations with Williams' record were a bit more interesting than any attempts on the DiMaggio record - even Rose was still 12 games off.

Lastly, this past April the UConn men's basketball team made 101 of 115 free throws - 87.8% - in winning the NCAA championship. It is not only an NCAA tournament record for a champion, it is a record for any team that played 3 or more games in any NCAA tournament. Usually the NCAA regular season team leader in FT% is around 80% but in tournament games where the pressure is sky high, this record is unbelievable. I do not think it will ever be broken, by any team taking more than 100 FTs. Incidentally the UConn team shot about 77% on FTs for the season which was very good and put them in the top 6 or so nationally, but to jack that number up to 88% in very high pressure games, where the weakest FT shooters are being fouled deliberately at the end of games, is simply sick. In the championship game the end came very quickly because Kentucky coach Calipari told his players not to foul UConn players "because they are not missing." He was not even really second guessed for this very unusual strategy in a 5-6 point game. UConn was 10-10 on FTs in the championship game to that point. I have never seen that strategy of not fouling used before in a high stakes game of any kind let alone a championship game.

Hello all
Dimaggio's 56 games hitting is almost unconceivable and Rose streak had the pleasure to follow it just as Tony Gwynn and George Brett .
Those are truly exciting moments in sports extravaganza !
But original records stayed safe !

You guys all forgot Montreal Canadiens 8 losses in 80 games. 60-8-12 ('76-'77)...will never be broken!

The 76-77 Canadiens holds many unlikely breakable records the 1976-77 Canadiens were a +216, or +2.70 goals per game, both the best of all time.
It does exceed imagination sometimes !

Phenoms will always come along who will be bigger, stronger, faster, better trained and coordinated than their predecessors. Therefore, the basketball and track records will never be safe.

However, the natures of hockey and baseball have changed to favor the defense in each case.

Hockey players are far bigger, faster and better trained so there is less open ice than in the era when Gretsky, Orr and Howe were setting records. Rinks aren't going to increase in size as that would diminish the revenues of the owners.

Somewhat fitter players, better defensive positioning and improved pitching will make it difficult to break .400 or beat DiMaggio's record for consecutive games with a hit. The average fastball is now in the low 90's . I wouldn't be astonished, if next generation, that average increases to the high 90's. Pitching technique and arm strength can improve, but I doubt that human reflexes can accelerate to match.

Very true. It is amazing how baseball has evolved even in the last 10 years as the Steroid era came to an end. There are distinct eras in baseball - the pre -1968 era before pitching mounds were brought down, the post 1969 era after the pitching mound change, the advent of the DH in 1973, the steroid era from mid 1980s to late 2000s, and now we are in a brand new era of regulation of steroids.

If anyone has noticed, batting averages and runs and homers are WAY down in baseball this year. The reasons why are all of what AV mentioned above, plus steroid regulation. We are sliding back towards the deadball era, or at least the pre-steroids era.

As AV mentioned, better defensive positioning. I have never seen defensive shifts used like they have been used this year. They are totally fucking up certain hitters who can't adapt. Brian McCann is one example of a guy struggling in part due to shifts.

Pitching has become more specialized, and the modern deployment of bullpens which are stacked with guys throwing very hard make some of the old offensive records seemingly unreachable. You have a guy like Dellin Betances coming in and pitching the 7th and 8th innings throwing 98 mph very consistently. Lots of team have other multiple guys throwing 95 mph. It makes it harder to stage rallies. Back in the 1970s and prior to that, starters were left in the game, tired in the 7th and 8th innings and gave up runs and bullpens were used very sparingly. It is a whole different game now. Baseball right now is as good as it has ever been because of all the strategy with defenses, pitching, pitching changes, defensive substitutions and pinch hitters, not to mention roster changes of sending guys down and up and on and off the DL and the new concussion DL. It is a sport that has more possible strategies than any other. It is a thinking man's sport. As you watch the game you can literally observe how games can be won with proper game management AND roster management and bullpen management. What goes into game management is so complicated now with roster change rules that it makes you head spin.

There is always room for athleticism and more of a premium on it now. Look at the Red Sox- they have reacted to their 14th place standing in AL stolen bases by spending over $70 million on a Cuban outfielder who chiefly brings speed and defense to the table. Speed has never been more important than it is right now and the Red Sox realized that. With runs down, the manufacturing of runs is what potentially wins games. You manufacture runs with speed: taking extra bases, and stealing bases and, on defense, you subtract runs by using radical shifts and employing defensive replacements with greater range.

Back in the 1960s, the Cardinals and Dodgers ruled the NL with a very consistent recipe of pitching, defense and base stealers at the top of the order. If you examine the Red Sox and their fall from World Series heroes to last place goats, you have to ask what happened. Well, they lost their leadoff guy Jacoby Ellsbury and they did jackshit to replace him until they just signed the Cuban dude to $70 million. You have to have speed at the top of the order in this new era of baseball which requires more run manufacturing than in the prior 20 years.

Rickey Henderson was the greatest base stealer of all time, but Tim Raines and Vince Coleman were also very good. It has been a while since we have seen a dominant base stealer but teams now are looking for that more and more because it is essential in the new dynamics of baseball. Is Rickey's 130 untouchable? Lou Brock had 118, so I would say no. We just have not had those kinds of guys in baseball in a while. Part of that was the African American involvement in the sport declined, but in recent years inner city Little League programs have promoted their involvement. In the LLWS this year, two of the top 3 American teams were predominately African American teams from Chicago and Philadelphia. A sign that the next Rickey Henderson may be coming soon.
