Sports Records Never To Be Broken

99 yard run or pass play

Only can be tied but never broken




Though in NCAA FB 12 it was somehow possible to have a 100 yard scrimmage play

super lame one, but....

wilt chamberlain averaged 48.5 mpg over an nba season. unless the game is changed (which then you could switch to record by percentage), this is the most unbreakable record in all of sports IMO

Cal Ripken and Joe Thomas...both Ironmen streaks that will never be broken.

Cal Ripken - 2,632 Consecutive Games
Joe Thomas - 10,363 Consecutive Snaps

Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak.

Imagine if Covid was going on in the Ripken days. He would’ve been exposed and forced to sit out.

Also...Oklahoma football's 47 consecutive victories from 1953-1957.

He actually got hurt in college.

Mostly because they put him in on defense as they were short.

Played his entire career in fricking Cleveland. What a waste.

Cy Young's wins are the safest

This.

Not only is the game different nowadays in terms of strategies for resting players, but having a chance to even approach that record relies on too many variables like injury, illness, family commitments (i.e. kids being born, death in the family), and above all production. You might have the other aforementioned variables go your way, but you still have to be talented enough to be an MLB starter for over 16 years, which is obviously easier said than done.

The craziest part of that record is that #3 on the list (Gehrig is obviously #2) played less than HALF the number of consecutive games (1,307) that Ripken ultimately did (2,632).
