More unbreakable records: Hack Wilson 190 rbi's in a season. Only one other player has at least 180- Lou Gehrig holds the A.L. record with 184. Pete Rose 4256 career hits. Greg Maddux 18 Gold Gloves. Nolan Ryan has several unapproachable let alone unbreakable records-7 no hitters/ 12 one hitters/ over 5000 strikeouts. Ty Cobb's 57 steals of home/ Tris Speaker's 792 career doubles/ Hank Aaron's 2214 career runs batted in( I maybe off on the exact total). The Yankees winning 7 consecutive World Series-only one other team has won at least 3 in a row( 1972-73-74 Oakland Athletics./ Juan Marichal pitching a complete game 16 inning shutout( 1963 against Milwaukee Braves)
The only issue I ever had with Cal is his performance. When he was tired he should of got some rest. His career stats might of been better if he didn't try to play all these games. His career batting average is one of the lowest for a hall of fame player. Only .276
Ichiro is such a random anomaly to me, that I've never understood why I'm supposed to believe that another random anomaly could never occur. Also, I think as far as the tough/soft arguments regarding Cal Ripken, I think this largely has to do with how players are valued. During Ripken's career (especially pre-94 strike) I think a player was more valued for playing through injuries, now players are seen as too valuable to risk damage. It's about protecting/raising value.
only guy to go over a hundred steals? didn't vince colemen do it trice? lou brock? that guy for the dodgers? a handful of guys in the 1800's. i think my grandma stole a 100 bases one year.
mlb the show has a MLB achievments page on the Road to the Show mode. and u can potentially break several of the records and have your name listed. except it lists like some 19th century dude with most wins in a season with i think 60 lol. charles radburn i think?
A lot of stats don’t include pre-1900 players and even more records don’t include players who played before the overhand pitch was legalized. Yes, that’s correct - the original game of baseball had underhand pitching from a square 55 feet away from home plate
@@sportspokerguy3506 -The modern era began in 1901. The "dead ball" era was 1901-1920 because the long ball or home run had not yet become prevalent. Babe Ruth ushered in the power craze by single-handedly launching more home runs than most teams. Adding to your comment- Before 1901 it took 7 balls instead of 4 for a walk to be issued. There were no out field fences or other barriers so extra base hits were more common.
So, what is the difference between older generation players being tougher, or the younger generation players being softer? Lol Seems like 6 of 1 half a dozen of another.
Denny McLain may be the last pitcher to win 30 games, but Jack Chesbro has the record with 41. A few other unbreakable records: Cy Young: 511 career wins Cy Young: 316 career losses Walter Johnson: 110 career shutouts Christy Mathewson: 3 shutouts in a World Series. Getting 4 would require what could only be described as an act of God. Fernando Tatis Sr.: 2 grand slams in an inning Johnny Vandermeer: 2 consecutive no-hitters Joe Nuxhall: Youngest player at 15.
