Most Unbreakable Records in Professional Sports

[sleepyguy]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but it has to be Federer's grand slam record... Nadal is on track but his style is too abusing on the body. I think Fed is gonna grab another 3 before he retires anyway.

MLB the number of times it put me to sleep 43580394856094 and counting

I don't watch the NFL so if someone could post some pretty impressive records that would be nice.

I'm guessing you are a hockey fan. Games like Football & baseball require strategy & thinking, unlike hockey which is just chasing around frozen rock. Maybe that's why it puts you to sleep (the strategy & thinking part)

IMO, the 3 hardest to break:

Regular season batting average:
Pre 1900: Hugh Duffy of the Boston Braves hit .440 in 1894.
After 1900: Napolean LaJoie of the Philadelphia Phillies hit .426 in 1901.

Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak

Gretzkys' point streak

gsp:30 straight round wins

ROFL!
Add 5 more rounds to that if he can't finish Shields.

As great as that record is, it will be broken and that too in your lifetime. I mean, Pete Sampras' record at the time seemed immense before Fed started his steamroll. And already Nadal is looking like the challenger. Tennis continues to evolve and we haven't quite seen the zenith yet. If you want to just look at statistics, then Margaret Court is perhaps the most impressive tennis player in history (with the most grand slams singles (24), combined (62) and a winning percentage of 91.74) who makes Federer look like an amateur.

Like I said previously, Sir Donald Bradman's test career average of 99.94 remains one of the most unreachable and impressive records in sporting history (even better after statistical analysis done by researchers at Cambridge, which towers over most records in this thread). Since his retirement in the late 1940s, no cricketer has even hit an average of 65+ let alone scale 70, 80. This record will stand the test of time. Moreover Bradman still continues to hold 16 other records, which are also very impressive in their own right.

I dunno but I think Tiger Wood's 11 mistresses in one Golf season a tought record to beat.....definitely a test of stamina

[telman]

Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys had a 99 yard run from scrimmage which can't be beat in the NFL unless they change to a Canadian size football field.

I believe Machida may have him beat prior to facing Shogun.

16 time World Heavy Weight champion. Can't forget that.

HHH at 11 time or Edge at 10 time may break that.

Now you what will be hard to break? Kane with 11 eliminations in a single Royal Rumble

Good call. I read the whole thread with Scotty Bowman`s record in mind and you beat me to it.
