Re: Most unbeatable record
Career pitching wins and losses records are so unbreakable it's almost not even worth discussing.
What's more interesting are single season records. What's the most unbreakable single season record? Wilt's 50.4 ppg? Wilt's 27.2 rpg? Gretzky's 92 goals? Gretzky's 163 assists? Gretzky's 215 points?

[/ QUOTE ] btw, Clemens and Maddux basically just finished (probably) the best pitching careers of the modern era. (not peak years, but performance * years pitched). they are both almost 60% of the way to Young's record. they each need about 10 more years of 30ish decisions to catch him...or until Maddux is 50, and Clemens is 52

Gretzky's taking that one to his grave and beyond. 2 assists a game is unreal. And this one's a career record that only the non-US sports fans on here, with rare exceptions, will care about, but Sir Donald Bradman's 99.9 career batting average in Test cricket is gonna take some breaking, considering no one else in the history of the sport is over about 61. --Scott

Re: Most unbeatable record
yes, it's unreal.
not quite necessarily on taking it to his grave. Although I don't expect to see it fall in my lifetime I wouldn't guarantee it. NHL scoring is up a little due to rule changes. But it may continue to rise. Wouldn't be surprised for some fast-paced offense to end up with 5+ goals per game in a season someday. So somebody on a team like that could end up with a ton of assists. Crosby, as young as he is, is alreay over 1 ast per game on a team that is really good and improving, but not incredible.

Re: Most unbeatable record
I would've said Wilt's 100 pts but after seeing Kobe get 82pts last year vs the pathetic raptors blew my titties away. So it's not that impossible. At the same time Wilt was a monster for his time that just dominated the court.
I'll have to say Gretzky's record can never be broken. Now with the salary cap in place, we'll probably never see another team like Gretzky's Oilers. That team was ridiculous.

[/ QUOTE ] This has to be the biggest gulf in sports between a guy who holds the top spot with a particular stat and his closest rival. It truly is remarkable. BTW, you say that #2 is at 61..is that Ponting? 61 is pretty damn remarkable in itself.

Re: Most unbeatable record
Im glad noone in here mention dimaggios hitting streak
It always pissed me off when someone mentions that its the most unbreakable record. Its more of a flukey streak than anything. Eventally someone will get every break in the world and beat it. Noone is throwing 3 no-hitters in a row or winning 512 games.3 grand slams wont happen either but I think 3 homers in an inning would be more likely than 3 no hitters in a row. I wish Clemens got some run support the last 2 years and would stop dickering around and pitch the whole season because he woulda had a shot at 400 wins.

As his career # of games he fouled out = zero. Hack Wilson's 190 RBIs has not been touched. A couple of NL pitchers have hit 2 HRs in an inning. Guys used to throw 40+ CGs in a season regularly. Oscar averaging a triple double. Need to average a quad double to beat that.
