Byron Nelson – 11 PGA tour wins in a row Never

Johnny Vander Meer – Two consecutive no-hitters May be tied but, not broken

John Stockton – NBA career assists and steals So far ahead, it is inconceivable right now

Richard Petty – 200 NASCAR wins Never

Darryl Sittler – 10 Points in one NHL Game It "Could" happen

Wilt Chamberlain – 100 Points in one Game It "Could" happen

Rickey Henderson – 1,406 Stolen Bases Very doubtful

Pete Rose – 4,256 Career Hits No one will play long enough

Joe Dimaggio – 56-Game Hitting Streak It "Could" happen

Wayne Gretzky – 215 Points in a Season Nope

Boston Celtics – 8 Consecutive NBA Titles Very Doubtful

Wayne Gretzky – 2,857 Career Points :no:

Cy Young – 749 Complete Games Absolutley ZERO Chance

Cal Ripken Jr. – 2,632 Consecutive Games Played It "Could" happen

Nolan Ryan – 5,714 Strike Outs Nearly no chance this record is ever even approached, let alone broken

Nolan Ryan – 7 No-Hitters Possible but Doubtful

Cy Young's complete games and Celtics 8 straight titles are the most unlikely

I'll say the most likely to happen at some point are the career no-hitters and Stockton's assist and steals records.

I think the no-hitters records are the most likely.

I think Wilt's 100 point game could get broken...look Kobe got 82 hitting only 4 shots from the field in two quarters.

 

I could see Steph being really hot one night and the team just start feeding him to see if he could break 100.

Maybe LeBron comes out on a slow night in February against a really bad team and decides to just go for it like Kobe did.

 

With scoring and shooting on an uptick in the NBA I really think someone could do it and I think someone will hit 90 within the next few seasons.

Cy Young winner record by far is the least likely to be broken.

Byron Nelson's 11 straight PGA victories would be next

I agree with Ryan's Strike Outs being next, IMO.

  • Author

Closest active pitcher to Ryan's Strike Out total is CC Sebathia, in 15 seasons he has 2726 K's. If he kept up that pace for 15 more years for a 30 year career, he would still be nearly 300K's short of what Ryan did in barely 27 seasons.

Bold are ones I think are possible to be broken.

 

Red are ones I don't see any chance being broken.

 

Others I'm not sure either way.

I'm shocked that no one has made a better run at DiMagio's hit streak record...Ichiro and Jeter both had seasons where they had hits in at least 135 games. You have to figure they were a hit or two away from stringing together a long streak.

Stockton's steals record was teh first thing that jumped off the screen to me.
