The hitting streak is most overrated record ever. If someone hypothetically beat it by going 1-5 or 1-4 for 57 straight games, would that be impressive? No cause they'd be batting barely above 200. There are plenty records more impressive than it.

Brett Favre's consecutive start streak should be up there somewhere. He had plenty injuries he could've said "I'm going to take the day off" and never did.

East Germans > Barry Bonds.

List is a joke without at least one Tiger Woods record. 142 straight cuts made might be the greatest record in sports history.

Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports, period. Hell yes the 56 game streak should be up there.
Hell it'd be even more impressive today if it was broken with all the specialty pitchers you'd see in a game. It's not like the old days where you face the same guy 3-4 times guaranteed.

There will never, ever, be another pitcher to win 400 games.... much less 511.
Pitchers average, what, 32 starts a year now? They'd have to win every single start, every single year...... for over 16 years to reach 511!!!

Doesn't seem that impressive in today's game.
This record might get broken this season.

Surprised Cal Ripken was not even mentioned

So, they dropped Wilt's 100 pt game down because Kobe got close (81 pt), but...
they still have Sunny Jim Bottomley's 12-RBI game at the #4 spot despite the fact that Mark Whiten tied that record in 1993.

Percentage-wise, he wasn't that far ahead of Gehrig.

It probably will get broken soon, but it's pretty damn impressive that this record was set 65 years ago, in an era where an average passing game was about 163 yards.

hershiser's scoreless innings streak is impressive, also ... probably as impressive as some of those records on the list ... wilt's 100 pt game is neat, but does anyone really think it's all that given how few teams there were and his relative size advantage? ...

impressive for its time, no? ... would be interesting to see the types of passes and yac that number came from, tho ...

I get the criteria they used to come up with this list, but Nolan Ryan's no-hitters and Joe DiMaggio's consecutive game hitting streak are far more difficult than Bonds intentional walks IMO.

Undertaker's 21-0 streak at Wrestlemania is up there.

pretty sure the 50s weren't throwing 20 bubble screens per game with pussified DBs

That's what's so impressive about it.
Babe Ruth hitting 59 HRs in 1921 when the next best was 20 something.
