Cy Young's career record of 511 pitching wins should be on the list. To reach 500 would take 25 wins per year for 20 years and there would still be 11 to go! It's literally impossible in today's game.
Cy also holds the record for innings pitched (7,356), games started (815), and, the most unbreakable record of all, complete games (749!). Another record that won't be touched: Ty Cobb stole home 33 times.
Three records come to mind. Joe D. and his 56 game hitting streak. The closest anyone has come to that was Pete Rose with 44.Still 12 games short of tying the record. Cy Young with 511 career pitching victorys. I believe 2nd all time is less than 400 wins. 20 wins for 20 seasons still leaves you more than 100 wins behind. Finally, Johnny Vander Meer. Back- to- back no hitters. He's the only one to ever do that, and to break that record a pitcher would have to twirl 3 straight no-nos. Not gonna happen.
Walter Johnson is #2 on the all-time wins list at 417. So yeah, Cy Young's win total should have been #1 on this list. If the Big Train wasn't catching Cy, there ain't nobody else ever going to come close. Not unless they can somehow pitch 26 20-game-win seasons.
There was a high school prospect who's name I forget. A few years ago he pitched 7 straight no hitters. The previous record for high school nation wide, was just two. So had this kid actually gone somewhere, he might of been the answer to breaking Vander Meer's record. Btw, of those 7 straight no hitters, 4 of them were perfect games. 2 others would have been perfect had his team not committed any errors.
How about Cy Young’s 749 career complete games? That’s definitely one of the two or three most unbreakable records in baseball and much more unbreakable than his career wins record.
@@desmondunn4504 randy Johnson is the closest at 4875. I think this is one of the 4 or 5 truly untouchable records because of how long he played which he is also tied with one other person at 27 seasons.
Most pictures don't pitch complete games nowadays so it would be very hard for any picture to break Nolan Ryan's record of 7 no hitters and 5,714 career strikeouts. But to be honest even if they were still pitching complete games it would still be very difficult for anyone to break Nolan Ryan's records
@@073286 I agree, and I don't know how CY Youngs 511 career wins or 749 complete games was off the list but the HR record and World Series drought was on it. We wont see another 300 win pitcher let alone over 500. Pitcher's don't throw complete games anymore so that's a given but 511 wins is a 21 year career with 25 wins every single year. That's unreal.
I'd say that's more improbable, than impossible. If a player is on teams that make the World Series 11 times over the course of his career and each Series goes 7 games, then that's 77 games right there. It's unlikely to happen, but certainly not impossible.
Don't hold your breath waiting for anyone to surpass Hack Wilson's record of 191 RBIs in one season. Too many excellent pitchers in the game nowadays. Everyone who came close was way back in the days when pitchers routinely went 9 innings, regardless of if they were tired or didn't have good stuff that day.
Dont forget most hr hitters dont hit for avg. bcs they r always swinging for the fences which means strikeout records by batters will get broken. The all or nothing hitters.
Thanks for pointing out the RBI single season record of Hack Wilson. Most important and most overlooked statistic in Baseball for batting, single or career.
Wilson also hit 56 homers. Agree that RBIs is THE most important stat for a player in the 3rd or 4th position. Aaron still holds that record because he hit for average as well as power. .305 lifetime.
Here's one that will NEVER be touched... The 1971 Baltimore Orioles with four pitchers with 20+ wins that season. Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Pat Dobson and Mike Cuellar
@@markhine3232 I didn't see my first game at Memorial Stadium until 1972. I saw all of them pitch except for Pat Dobson. I actually had a baseball that my father had all 4 of them sign over 2 different games... Wish I still had it.
Well that’s a no brainer, it is an oddity but come on there will never be a dude with 3 of those opportunities in an inning again. Not really worth mentioning
Johnny Vandermeer pitched 2 consecutive no hitters. A pitcher would have to have 3 in a row to break it. No one is doing that. Fernando Tatis hit 2 grand slams in an inning. No one is hitting 3. Joe Nuxhall was the youngest player ever at age 15. No team is going to play a 14 year old, unless there's a baseball Freddy Ado.
Jason Dousett The no hitters and strikeout records could be broken if they reverted to the old strike zone and actually called it. Then starters would go deeper into games. While Ted Williams was the last player to hit .400 in a season, the modern record for single season batting average is .424 by Rogers Hornsby. That is almost certainly safe.
By the way 3 homers in an inning has been done, albeit in the minor leagues a player named Gene Rye smacked 3 in the Texas League for the Waco Cubs in 1930. He did make it up to the Redsox briefly in 1931.
Glad you mentioned Tatis. That is one amazing accomplishment. Trivia: Both grand slams were hit off the same pitcher (Hideo Nomo). Why that pitcher was still there is the real mystery!
You missed one of the best records ever, and one that will never be broken: Joe Sewell batted .336 in 1925 and had 608 at bats. He struck out FOUR times! The previous year, he had 594 at bats and struck out TWICE! I don't even know how this is possible--the guy must have made contact with the ball virtually every time.
Factor in that most of the players are going for home runs and don't care if they strike out and you're right - Sewell's record for fewest strikeouts in a season (with a minimum of 520 plate appearances or whatever the number is) will never be broken. In today's game, more home runs = bigger salary, so being a contact hitter makes no sense economically.
@Jimmy Poe Ok, so is it possible for a guy to do it?? Yea, but it is probably not going to happen, someone might get close to it one day. W@ are the odds th@ we see a father and son play on the same team again? Hit home runs in the same game, and have them be back to back? Do u ever see th@ happening??
@@C.G91 let's look at some of his numbers. While he was only a career .279 hitter, Henderson had a career .401 on-base percentage. He was unintentionally walked 2,190 times and another 61 times intentionally. He was only caught stealing 335 times in a 25 year career, his single season high was 42 the year he stole 130 bases. He led off an inning with a walk 796 times. A statistical fact that should blow your mind: Henderson played roughly 4 1/2 seasons(596 games)for the Yankees and became their club leader in steals. It took Derek Jeter from his rookie year in 1996 until May 28, 2011 to break Henderson's mark.
@@jaylafond9795 couldnt agree more. If I had to bet, I would say that Nolan Ryan's, is what 12 or 13th on the list of wins, went be touched. Even tho it's not a record, it shows how the game has changed.
I think people forget about Ty Cobb’s records of stealing home (54 times) or innings in which he stole 2nd, 3rd & home (at least once he did it on consecutive pitches). Honus Wagner also did it 4 times in his career. It’s only been done 54 times in MLB History and only 2 other players did it more than once. Hard to do especially with the stretch… exciting play though
Yeah, Ty Cobb has always been my favorite player of all time ever since I was a little kid. Just the way he approached(I suppose "attacked" would be a more fitting word) the game, such as how aggressive he was on the bases. As a kid, all the way up through high school(when I quit playing) I was _constantly_ stealing bases, trying to force errors by the pitcher or catcher, taking huge leads, etc. As someone who played catcher, and sometimes pitcher(I was never a very good pitcher),I knew how annoying that can be. I also love how he could just put the ball wherever he wanted("hit 'em where they ain't" as the saying goes.) Did you ever hear that story about reporters asking him about(I think) Babe Ruth and all the home runs he would hit? Cobb responded by saying, "you want to see how easy it is to hit home home runs? I'll show ya" and proceeded to hit like 6 or 7 homeruns in 3 games(I forget the exact statistic) and then told the reporters he was going back to his normal hitting style. Oh, and his .367/.366 lifetime batting average is another record that will never be broken.
@@davidharrison3711 yes and he looked nothing like John Goodman! He and Ty Cobb were actually just tall and athletic beasts. Cobb was not this small skinny base stealer, and Ruth was not overweight
It's actually 2.14 according to Baseball Reference. The average ERA for all pitchers in 1880 was 2.37, so he was better than average, but not exactly stellar. Among the eight pitchers with the most innings pitched that year, Will's ERA is the fourth best and the three ahead of him were all below 2.00. Again, while 2.18 is an outstanding ERA in the modern game, for its time it was the equivalent of about a 3.75 today (in the 55th percentile). As many of the records in the video demonstrate, the game itself is just completely different.
Add context to the situation. Runs were not scored a high rate at that time. Pitchers went significantly longer than today. So as a previous commenter stated, he was good, but just slightly better than league average.
How about the record for the shortest 9 inning game? In 1919, two teams finished a game in 54 minutes! This would not work today with all the pitching changes and such. But most of all, TV networks now control most games. The time between innings seems longer than ever with several minutes of commercials. In many cases, the game is delayed until the network is back. In 1919, I wonder how long it took for a game to continue after a third out.
NotData the only reason that game was so quick was because it was getaway day and both teams had a train to catch. The Giants and Phillies agreed to do anything possible (running into outs intentionally) to get the game over as quick as possible.
Here's one more that's pretty tough to top... The most gold gloves by a position player (non-pitcher) is 16 by the Orioles Brooks Robinson. All were at 3rd base.
A great ball player you hear very little about... Also Ripkens 3 error season and .997 fielding percentage at shortstop. Every one tells about the streak but he was a defensive and offensive powerhouse
I remember watching those great orioles team of the late 1960s and early 70s, brooks was a freakin hoover. Nothing got by him. He was only bested by Craig nettles in the 1978 ws, if anyone remembers, what a performance
@@stripervince1 I remember Nettles in "78,was not as efficient as Brooks . Check out Brooks in the '70 Series. To quote Johnny Bench "Had we known he wanted a truck so much,we would have bought him one." And BTW it's Graig not Craig
Rickey might be THEE most underrated player in history. He was without question a walking triple. You couldn't really pitch to him, he was the absolute greatest leadoff hitter, if you walked him, he was on third base usually on the third pitch. He shook up the opposition to no end. He was incredibly explosive and great to watch
@@stripervince1 i saw henderson and ichiro in the same game at fenway once in the 90s. two great leadoff hitters. too bad ty cobb's ghost didn't show up. i'm sure it's wandering the earth.
Ricky Henderson also has another record that nobody knows about. He was Nolan Ryan 5,000 strikeout victim. Nobody else is going to be a pitcher's 5000th career strikeout victim again. There's nobody throwing enough innings to even get the 5,000.
Coach Kent Murphy had 742 in once season. Got suspended the last 10 games for bumping fuzz with an umpires wife, so who knows how many he really would have had.
Cy Young's 511 wins (and 316 losses). Connie Mack's 3731 manager wins (and 3948 losses). I do think the Cubs record actually will be broken, although maybe not in our lifetimes. Consider that there are now 30 teams (there were only 16 in 1908). If everybody took turns, everybody would win 4 World Series over 120 years. But we all know that they don't take turns, so it's not at all unimaginable that somebody would be passed over for 4 cycles. All it would take is for a couple of teams to win 10 to 15 World Series over the next 120 years, and that would take championships away from several bottom feeders. And that doesn't even take into account possible future expansion.
big8dog88 Yeah, I agree. None of us will likely be around to see it, but it’s really difficult to win a World Series, so long droughts are very likely given enough time.
I would also add in the factor of small market vs. big market teams. As long as there is no reserve clause, the richer teams will more likely snag the more talented high priced free agents. The Yankees won't ever finish last. And teams like the Marlins and Mariners will lose their best players as soon as their contracts expire.
We still have a few teams that have been in MLB for 40+ years and have never won a World Series: the Brewers, Expos/Nats, Mariners, and Padres. Heck the Nats and Mariners have never even been to the WS.
One thing you have to take into account with his ERA is the fact that he was pitching in the dead-ball era. Scoring was significantly lower. Tim Keefe posted a 0.86 ERA in that same year, 1880.
Chief Wilson had 36 triples in 1912. With smaller stadiums today and the game focused more on power and less on speed. The closest anyone has gotten in the last 90 years was Curtis Granderson’s 23 in 2007. Still less than 2/3 of the way there.
@@ervintoledo3408 Negative ghostrider. He is currently 31 yrs old and sitting at 2007 K. That puts him 3707 behind Ryan. Since math is clearly not your strong suit let me break it down. Gerrit Cole led the majors with 326 K last year. If we allow that Sale averages that total every year (even though his career high is 308 and he only has 2 seasons of at least 240), he would need almost 11.5 seasons to pass Ryan. Since 2020 is going to be 1/3 season at best and 2021 could very well be cut short as well, Sale would have to pitch until he was 43/44 just to have a shot. And that assumes he will have kept his velocity on his fastball and the bite on his slider, even though he has started to loose both in recent seasons.
@@ervintoledo3408 problem is sale already missed time with a tommy John he will need to maintain that same style for 10-13 more years which unlikely and just for reference randy Johnson is the closest to Ryan and is still almost a 1000 away and look how he was striking everyone out.
How about Cy Young's record of 511 career games won? That's the most unbreakable record of all! Also Hugh Nicol for most stolen bases in a season with 138. Don't forget about Pete Rose's 4256 hits, Nolan Ryan's 5714 strikeouts, Matt Kilroy's 513 strikeouts in a season, and Hugh Duffy's .440 average in a season.
A .440 batting average is literally impossible to attain today. And 513 Ks in a year is unreachable. Those 19th century teams kept two, maybe three pitchers. That's it.
@@MAMRetro and the pitchers mound was 15 feet closer to homeplate as well. That record should still stand but be separated from the distance changes made to the pitchers mound over the years. It started at 45' with a flat mound then went to 50' with a slightly higher mound, then increased to the 60'6" with an even more raised mound.
Ha clearly false. I was able to break the record for most career wins on MLB The Show. We don't need to mention that the sliders were heavily in my favor.
Radbourne started and won so many games that season because the other starting pitcher on the team quit about half way through the season. Radbourne volunteered to start all of the remaining games. He single handedly pitched Providence to the NL championship!
I can't believe that you neglected to point out that Old Hoss Radbourne is the first person in history to be photographed giving the finger. A couple of the images shown in this video actually depict him in the act, though one of the shots is pixelated. It may not qualify as a baseball record, certainly not something that can't be exceeded. But he did it on numerous occasions, for reasons best known to himself, and it's an interesting gesture to be offering posterity in a formal portrait setting in the 1880s. He may have been a strange man.
@@DawsonWright Another record that's insane is the fewest pitches thrown in a nine inning game-58. But I don't remember the pitcher's name; all I remember is the guy pitched for the Boston Braves, and it was against the Cincinnati Reds in 1942 or '44.
@@DawsonWright I googled that game; the pitcher who set the record for fewest pitches in a nine inning game was Charles 'Red' Barrett, who threw only 58 pitches in a 2-0 shutout of Cincinnati in a 1944 game for the Boston Braves. That game was completed in 75 minutes.
Fun fact: Old Hoss Radbourn would pitch so much he couldn't lift his arm to comb his hair. He did long toss before games, threw with an iron ball to strengthen his arm, and kept hot towels on his biceps and had it massaged daily.
When I first heard of "# games hitting streak", I thought it meant every at-bat per game, when I found out the real meaning I thought thats no accomplishment, you only have to bat between 200 and 250
I remember when that happened, I was listening to a Cardinals game and because Pittsburgh was in an earlier time zone, even with the game going 4 extra innings it finished up before the Cards game was over. The St. Louis announcers just couldn't believe the ineptitude of the Pirates' hitters.
I think Ty Cobb's lifetime batting average of .366/.367 is a pretty safe bet for never being broken. but yeah, those pitching records will definitely never be seen again.
@@albundy6008 exactly. And CY Young had 511, how was he not on the list. Or DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak? The list is trash. The pirates will end up breaking the WS drought streak. And someone will eventually break the HR record.
@@jaybrick8973 i would think a guy that hit .342 with 714 homers and 2214 RBI's and scored 2174 runs would be a better hitter. Oh and in only 8399 at bats. Cobb was a great player no doubt. But Babe Ruths numbers tell it how it is...he is hands down the best hitter, power hitter and before all that he was a great pitcher. He was drunk and still dominated
Nolan Ryan's All Time Strikeout Record (5714!) and Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak should be on this list. I don't think anyone will ever beat Nolans Ryans No Hitter total either! Pete Rose's Hit Record looks unbeatable too. You did choose some obscure ones so credit for that.
You should clarify that by saying Most World Series Championship Wins....

I watched that gain as I was recording Bonds and McGuire's at bats. The fun part was when Tatis hit the second slam, the camera went to McGuire who was laughing his ass off.
Hack Wilson’s 191 RBIs in a season honestly should have been on here. In the last 10 years no one had come close. The last person to even sniff it was Manny Ramirez like 15 years ago.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Tony Cloninger hitting two grand slams and getting 9 RBIs in one game will be very hard to beat. A pitcher would need three grand slams in one game, considering that pitchers dont hit in the AL makes it impossible to beat.
In June 2002,Robert Person hit a slam and a three run HR and came thisclose to hitting another slam,missing the foul people by a few feet.All of that was done in 5 innings.

@@wayneduncan6383 Some interesting facts: Ichiro had more hits counting his Japanese league hits...Had he started in MLB, he might have had a shot at Rose...that said, generational player. It's highly unlikely we'll see it again. I remember when Cal Ripken Jr broke Gehrig's consecutive starts record. No one thought he'd be able to do it until he started getting close. That said, I don't think anyone now is remotely close to that kind of streak. I agree on your list in general. I saw Pete Rose get into the 40s on hit streak as a young kid and I think the most since was in the 30s and the pressure went through the roof at that point.
Here's an obscure one. Joe Sewell's strikeout percentage. He holds the record for the lowest strikeout rate in major league history, striking out on average only once every 73 plate appearances, and the most consecutive games without a strikeout, at 115. In 1932, he struck out only 3 times in 503 at-bats.
150 pitches lol, that is Hellarious. In 1964 I pitched a 13 inning game on the high school varsity and lost it 2 to 0 in the 13th. That was on a Friday. Because I was a sophomore I also pitched a 7 inning Jay Vee game the next day on a Saturday, In those days there were no maximum pitches. By the time I was 20 my arm was shot. My parents never forgave those coaches.I know this has nothing to do with the 10 records but I thought I would share what they did years ago.
BigBlueFan 1987 - Thank you for mentioning The Babe's Lifetime Slugging Pct (.690!!!), which I was about to do. Ted Williams is a DISTANT 2nd at .634, followed by Lou Gehrig (.632), Jimmie Foxx (.609), Hank Greenberg (.605). These are the ONLY guys over .600 lifetime. If you count him, Bonds is at .606. . .
What about Ted Williams' career OBP of .482? Ruth is the only one who's close at .474. His 'roidness himself, Barry Bonds is the closest modern player at .444. The closest active player is Joey Votto at .421. The last player to have an OBP of .482 for a season was Bonds in 2004 (last of 4 straight seasons he hit that mark). The last player not named Barry Bonds to do it for a season was Frank Thomas in 1994. Before Thomas you have to go back to Mickey Mantle in 1962. Before that? Well that would be Williams himself!
Tris Speaker's 792 doubles seems it "could" be broken, but still you have to play a lot of years and be a good baserunner (able to turn a single into a double, or keep it as a double even if it's a sure triple, etc.). Pete Rose got up there with 746, but it took him 24 seasons (and 3,562 games... another unbreakable record?) to do that. Speaker played only 20 seasons on a shorter schedule (an average of nearly 40 a season).
Triples just don’t happen that often in today’s game, so holding it as a double when it’s a sure triple just doesn’t happen as much as it used to. Being able to turn a single into a double is more important as that’s needed a lot more often.
It always makes me happy to see Ventura getting his ass kicked. On that note, he has to hold the record of number of times a batter has been hit by a pitcher in a single at bat.
The Baltimore Orioles have one record that I will shocked if it ever gets broken. Going 0-21 to start the season in 1988. In fact, the Orioles are the gift that keeps on giving: 10 home runs in one game by the Blue Jays against them. Losing a game 30-3 to Texas. Side record from that game: getting a save for preserving a 27 run lead.
I'm not 100% certain that statistics will back this up, but in some situations walking a power hitter with the bases loaded can make sense strategically. The team that walked Bonds with the bases loaded had a two-run lead in the ninth, where a hit would likely tie or lose the game. So, the other team gambited a run by walking Bonds, figuring they still win if they get the next batter out.
Not really a "record". It was a fun fact, an accomplishment but last time I checked there are no official stats or records kept for "Father and sons who hit back to back home runs"

There is wide-spread agreement that he was one of the best hitters in the game.
Here’s another great one. In 1927 when Ruth hit 60 homers, Gehrig, batting behind him clean up hit 175 rbis . Imagine, he came up at least 60 times that year with the bases empty after Ruth clear them. Wow
Cy Young's career record of 511 pitching wins should be on the list. To reach 500 would take 25 wins per year for 20 years and there would still be 11 to go! It's literally impossible in today's game.

I had this record being the number one unbreakable.
Cy also holds the record for innings pitched (7,356), games started (815), and, the most unbreakable record of all, complete games (749!). Another record that won't be touched: Ty Cobb stole home 33 times.

Three records come to mind. Joe D. and his 56 game hitting streak. The closest anyone has come to that was Pete Rose with 44.Still 12 games short of tying the record.
Cy Young with 511 career pitching victorys. I believe 2nd all time is less than 400 wins. 20 wins for 20 seasons still leaves you more than 100 wins behind. Finally, Johnny Vander Meer. Back- to- back no hitters. He's the only one to ever do that, and to break that record a pitcher would have to twirl 3 straight no-nos. Not gonna happen.
Walter Johnson is #2 on the all-time wins list at 417. So yeah, Cy Young's win total should have been #1 on this list. If the Big Train wasn't catching Cy, there ain't nobody else ever going to come close. Not unless they can somehow pitch 26 20-game-win seasons.
There was a high school prospect who's name I forget. A few years ago he pitched 7 straight no hitters. The previous record for high school nation wide, was just two.

Unlike Robin Ventura’s nose
@@073286 I agree, and I don't know how CY Youngs 511 career wins or 749 complete games was off the list but the HR record and World Series drought was on it. We wont see another 300 win pitcher let alone over 500. Pitcher's don't throw complete games anymore so that's a given but 511 wins is a 21 year career with 25 wins every single year. That's unreal.
Mike Marshall pitched in 106 games in 1974 with the Dodgers. That will never be broken. Should be #1 on the list
Yogi Berra playing in 75 World Series games never gets mentioned. The way the playoffs are structured today it is impossible to break.
I'd say that's more improbable, than impossible. If a player is on teams that make the World Series 11 times over the course of his career and each Series goes 7 games, then that's 77 games right there. It's unlikely to happen, but certainly not impossible.
@@danman6669 It will never happen.
I think the least difficult record to break would be Nolan Ryan's 383 strikeouts in a season.
Ricky Henderson over 1400 stolen bases, and was never prosecuted or jailed.

And he’s black too. I don’t get it.
Don't hold your breath waiting for anyone to surpass Hack Wilson's record of 191 RBIs in one season. Too many excellent pitchers in the game nowadays. Everyone who came close was way back in the days when pitchers routinely went 9 innings, regardless of if they were tired or didn't have good stuff that day.
Hack Wilson was only 5'6". He had 191 rbi's in a 154 game season.
Dont forget most hr hitters dont hit for avg. bcs they r always swinging for the fences which means strikeout records by batters will get broken. The all or nothing hitters.
Thanks for pointing out the RBI single season record of Hack Wilson. Most important and most overlooked statistic in Baseball for batting, single or career.
Wilson also hit 56 homers. Agree that RBIs is THE most important stat for a player in the 3rd or 4th position. Aaron still holds that record because he hit for average as well as power. .305 lifetime.
I thought of this one too.
Here's one that will NEVER be touched... The 1971 Baltimore Orioles with four pitchers with 20+ wins that season. Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Pat Dobson and Mike Cuellar
Never will be repeated.
I got to see each of the 4 pitch at least 1 game each in 71. They were all amazing pitchers.
@@markhine3232 I didn't see my first game at Memorial Stadium until 1972. I saw all of them pitch except for Pat Dobson. I actually had a baseball that my father had all 4 of them sign over 2 different games... Wish I still had it.

I ll never understand why Bonds is up there twice. He cheated. Period. Those records should be taken out.
grand slams in an inning by a player: 2, fernando tatis, 1999. the fact that this record exists is amazing
And to the same pitcher!
Well that’s a no brainer, it is an oddity but come on there will never be a dude with 3 of those opportunities in an inning again. Not really worth mentioning
Yeah 3 grand slams in an inning isn't gonna happen
Lol to the same dude
Chan Ho Park gave up both bombs. Now that's a record that will never be Equaled. Giving up 2 Grand slams to the same player in the same inning.
Johnny Vandermeer pitched 2 consecutive no hitters. A pitcher would have to have 3 in a row to break it. No one is doing that. Fernando Tatis hit 2 grand slams in an inning. No one is hitting 3. Joe Nuxhall was the youngest player ever at age 15. No team is going to play a 14 year old, unless there's a baseball Freddy Ado.
You beat me to it, good job
nrkgalt How about 7 no hitters, 5714 career strikeouts (pitcher of course), 56 game hitting streak, bat .400
Jason Dousett The no hitters and strikeout records could be broken if they reverted to the old strike zone and actually called it. Then starters would go deeper into games.
While Ted Williams was the last player to hit .400 in a season, the modern record for single season batting average is .424 by Rogers Hornsby. That is almost certainly safe.
By the way 3 homers in an inning has been done, albeit in the minor leagues a player named Gene Rye smacked 3 in the Texas League for the Waco Cubs in 1930. He did make it up to the Redsox briefly in 1931.
Glad you mentioned Tatis. That is one amazing accomplishment. Trivia: Both grand slams were hit off the same pitcher (Hideo Nomo). Why that pitcher was still there is the real mystery!
You missed one of the best records ever, and one that will never be broken: Joe Sewell batted .336 in 1925 and had 608 at bats. He struck out FOUR times! The previous year, he had 594 at bats and struck out TWICE! I don't even know how this is possible--the guy must have made contact with the ball virtually every time.
Factor in that most of the players are going for home runs and don't care if they strike out and you're right - Sewell's record for fewest strikeouts in a season (with a minimum of 520 plate appearances or whatever the number is) will never be broken. In today's game, more home runs = bigger salary, so being a contact hitter makes no sense economically.
W O W!!!!! DKT!!!!!

@@C.G91 let's look at some of his numbers. While he was only a career .279 hitter, Henderson had a career .401 on-base percentage. He was unintentionally walked 2,190 times and another 61 times intentionally. He was only caught stealing 335 times in a 25 year career, his single season high was 42 the year he stole 130 bases. He led off an inning with a walk 796 times. A statistical fact that should blow your mind: Henderson played roughly 4 1/2 seasons(596 games)for the Yankees and became their club leader in steals. It took Derek Jeter from his rookie year in 1996 until May 28, 2011 to break Henderson's mark.
Ryan's seven no-nos seems unlikely to be broken

I think people forget about Ty Cobb’s records of stealing home (54 times) or innings in which he stole 2nd, 3rd & home (at least once he did it on consecutive pitches). Honus Wagner also did it 4 times in his career.
It’s only been done 54 times in MLB History and only 2 other players did it more than once. Hard to do especially with the stretch… exciting play though
Yeah, Ty Cobb has always been my favorite player of all time ever since I was a little kid. Just the way he approached(I suppose "attacked" would be a more fitting word) the game, such as how aggressive he was on the bases. As a kid, all the way up through high school(when I quit playing) I was _constantly_ stealing bases, trying to force errors by the pitcher or catcher, taking huge leads, etc. As someone who played catcher, and sometimes pitcher(I was never a very good pitcher),I knew how annoying that can be. I also love how he could just put the ball wherever he wanted("hit 'em where they ain't" as the saying goes.)
Did you ever hear that story about reporters asking him about(I think) Babe Ruth and all the home runs he would hit? Cobb responded by saying, "you want to see how easy it is to hit home home runs? I'll show ya" and proceeded to hit like 6 or 7 homeruns in 3 games(I forget the exact statistic) and then told the reporters he was going back to his normal hitting style.
Oh, and his .367/.366 lifetime batting average is another record that will never be broken.
ANOTHER amazing statistic is that the rotund Babe Ruth stole home 10 TIMES in his career!
@@Mockturtlesoup1 If they used the shift in Cobb's day like they do today, Cobb would've been the first player to hit over .500 in a season.
@@davidharrison3711 yes and he looked nothing like John Goodman! He and Ty Cobb were actually just tall and athletic beasts. Cobb was not this small skinny base stealer, and Ruth was not overweight
Because I was bored I actually looked up Will White’s stats. In 1 season he had 18 wins with 42 loses AND HAS AN ERA OF 2.18
He is an old Jacob DeGrom 💀
It's actually 2.14 according to Baseball Reference. The average ERA for all pitchers in 1880 was 2.37, so he was better than average, but not exactly stellar. Among the eight pitchers with the most innings pitched that year, Will's ERA is the fourth best and the three ahead of him were all below 2.00. Again, while 2.18 is an outstanding ERA in the modern game, for its time it was the equivalent of about a 3.75 today (in the 55th percentile). As many of the records in the video demonstrate, the game itself is just completely different.
Add context to the situation. Runs were not scored a high rate at that time. Pitchers went significantly longer than today. So as a previous commenter stated, he was good, but just slightly better than league average.
@@abrother9821 The Modern Era didn't start until around the start of the 20th Century.
How about the record for the shortest 9 inning game? In 1919, two teams finished a game in 54 minutes! This would not work today with all the pitching changes and such. But most of all, TV networks now control most games. The time between innings seems longer than ever with several minutes of commercials. In many cases, the game is delayed until the network is back. In 1919, I wonder how long it took for a game to continue after a third out.
Sad thing is I find baseball to not have many commercials because I usually watch football. So when I turn on baseball it seems short to me
NotData the only reason that game was so quick was because it was getaway day and both teams had a train to catch. The Giants and Phillies agreed to do anything possible (running into outs intentionally) to get the game over as quick as possible.
@@timetraveler5547 yeah, I'm glad MLB doesnt have commercial time outs like the NFL does
Here's one more that's pretty tough to top... The most gold gloves by a position player (non-pitcher) is 16 by the Orioles Brooks Robinson. All were at 3rd base.
A great ball player you hear very little about... Also Ripkens 3 error season and .997 fielding percentage at shortstop. Every one tells about the streak but he was a defensive and offensive powerhouse

Griffey could have had the HR record if he didnt get injured.
Actually babe Ruth was the best of all. Even though he had a few less homers he accomplished it in a lot fewer "at bats"

rickey henderson has another unbreakable record: 81 leadoff home runs.
Rickey might be THEE most underrated player in history. He was without question a walking triple. You couldn't really pitch to him, he was the absolute greatest leadoff hitter, if you walked him, he was on third base usually on the third pitch. He shook up the opposition to no end. He was incredibly explosive and great to watch
His single-season SB record of 130 (1982) is also almost certainly unbreakable.
@@stripervince1 i saw henderson and ichiro in the same game at fenway once in the 90s. two great leadoff hitters. too bad ty cobb's ghost didn't show up. i'm sure it's wandering the earth.

Ricky Henderson also has another record that nobody knows about. He was Nolan Ryan 5,000 strikeout victim. Nobody else is going to be a pitcher's 5000th career strikeout victim again. There's nobody throwing enough innings to even get the 5,000.

Cy Young's 511 wins (and 316 losses). Connie Mack's 3731 manager wins (and 3948 losses).
I do think the Cubs record actually will be broken, although maybe not in our lifetimes. Consider that there are now 30 teams (there were only 16 in 1908). If everybody took turns, everybody would win 4 World Series over 120 years. But we all know that they don't take turns, so it's not at all unimaginable that somebody would be passed over for 4 cycles. All it would take is for a couple of teams to win 10 to 15 World Series over the next 120 years, and that would take championships away from several bottom feeders. And that doesn't even take into account possible future expansion.
big8dog88 Yeah, I agree. None of us will likely be around to see it, but it’s really difficult to win a World Series, so long droughts are very likely given enough time.
I would also add in the factor of small market vs. big market teams. As long as there is no reserve clause, the richer teams will more likely snag the more talented high priced free agents. The Yankees won't ever finish last. And teams like the Marlins and Mariners will lose their best players as soon as their contracts expire.
We still have a few teams that have been in MLB for 40+ years and have never won a World Series: the Brewers, Expos/Nats, Mariners, and Padres. Heck the Nats and Mariners have never even been to the WS.
Of course as of this writing the Brewers are on a quest to delete themselves from that list.
WesIsaLeo should of never traded Ken Griffey Jr
Owen " Chief " Wilson of The 1912

He Had 36 Triples In That Season.
yeah, that is another great one--will never be broken. Earl Webb's 67 doubles in 1931 is practically untouchable as well.
You think DeGrom had it bad, Will White had 42 Losses with an era of 2.14 in 1880
One thing you have to take into account with his ERA is the fact that he was pitching in the dead-ball era. Scoring was significantly lower. Tim Keefe posted a 0.86 ERA in that same year, 1880.
His RA9, so counting unearned runs, was 5.62
@@ilikepie19921 They didn't play with gloves back then. Everyone made a ridiculous amount of errors.
Chief Wilson had 36 triples in 1912. With smaller stadiums today and the game focused more on power and less on speed. The closest anyone has gotten in the last 90 years was Curtis Granderson’s 23 in 2007. Still less than 2/3 of the way there.

@@ervintoledo3408 Negative ghostrider. He is currently 31 yrs old and sitting at 2007 K. That puts him 3707 behind Ryan. Since math is clearly not your strong suit let me break it down. Gerrit Cole led the majors with 326 K last year. If we allow that Sale averages that total every year (even though his career high is 308 and he only has 2 seasons of at least 240), he would need almost 11.5 seasons to pass Ryan. Since 2020 is going to be 1/3 season at best and 2021 could very well be cut short as well, Sale would have to pitch until he was 43/44 just to have a shot. And that assumes he will have kept his velocity on his fastball and the bite on his slider, even though he has started to loose both in recent seasons.
@@ervintoledo3408 problem is sale already missed time with a tommy John he will need to maintain that same style for 10-13 more years which unlikely and just for reference randy Johnson is the closest to Ryan and is still almost a 1000 away and look how he was striking everyone out.
How about Cy Young's record of 511 career games won? That's the most unbreakable record of all!
Also Hugh Nicol for most stolen bases in a season with 138. Don't forget about Pete Rose's 4256 hits, Nolan Ryan's 5714 strikeouts, Matt Kilroy's 513 strikeouts in a season, and Hugh Duffy's .440 average in a season.
A .440 batting average is literally impossible to attain today. And 513 Ks in a year is unreachable. Those 19th century teams kept two, maybe three pitchers. That's it.
@@MAMRetro and the pitchers mound was 15 feet closer to homeplate as well. That record should still stand but be separated from the distance changes made to the pitchers mound over the years.

note2owns yeah if Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson pitched on one of those mounds they maybe could have shattered the record of 513.

Ha clearly false. I was able to break the record for most career wins on MLB The Show. We don't need to mention that the sliders were heavily in my favor.
Radbourne started and won so many games that season because the other starting pitcher on the team quit about half way through the season. Radbourne volunteered to start all of the remaining games. He single handedly pitched Providence to the NL championship!
I can't believe that you neglected to point out that Old Hoss Radbourne is the first person in history to be photographed giving the finger. A couple of the images shown in this video actually depict him in the act, though one of the shots is pixelated. It may not qualify as a baseball record, certainly not something that can't be exceeded. But he did it on numerous occasions, for reasons best known to himself, and it's an interesting gesture to be offering posterity in a formal portrait setting in the 1880s.

Give it time and someone might do it on tide pods 🤣
There's video of him doing it you can tell he is tripping.
I don't think that falls into any "record" category.
Tal Keetna : He needs to be voted into the crack hall of fame.
Hack Wilson's single season RBI record is worth mentioning.
Connie Mack’s managerial records will never be broken, he managed for like 50 years.
This should defintely be no. 1. It ws more than 50 years. I think it was 54. It helps when you own the team.
I wouldn’t put any home run records in here with the ball being juiced these days.
But you can put a HR record with the player juiced?What a dumbass!!!...Are we going to get the balls drug tested?
Al Kaline youngest batting champ at 20. Back in 1955.
150 pitches lol, that is Hellarious. In 1964 I pitched a 13 inning game on the high school varsity and lost it 2 to 0 in the 13th. That was on a Friday. Because I was a sophomore I also pitched a 7 inning Jay Vee game the next day on a Saturday, In those days there were no maximum pitches. By the time I was 20 my arm was shot. My parents never forgave those coaches.I know this has nothing to do with the 10 records but I thought I would share what they did years ago.
Cool story bro
1. Cal Ripken consecutive games
2. Cy Young's games won pitching
Cy young losing games
Cy Young also holds the major league record for career loses, 370. That's 881 decisions.
Babe Ruth's all-time slugging percentage and OPS should've been atleast honorable mentions
BigBlueFan 1987 - Thank you for mentioning The Babe's Lifetime Slugging Pct (.690!!!), which I was about to do. Ted Williams is a DISTANT 2nd at .634, followed by Lou Gehrig (.632), Jimmie Foxx (.609), Hank Greenberg (.605). These are the ONLY guys over .600 lifetime. If you count him, Bonds is at .606. . .
They are untouchable.
And lets not forget what pitcher holds the record for most innings pitched
14 by the Babe!!
Facing meatballs
What about Ted Williams' career OBP of .482? Ruth is the only one who's close at .474. His 'roidness himself, Barry Bonds is the closest modern player at .444. The closest active player is Joey Votto at .421. The last player to have an OBP of .482 for a season was Bonds in 2004 (last of 4 straight seasons he hit that mark). The last player not named Barry Bonds to do it for a season was Frank Thomas in 1994. Before Thomas you have to go back to Mickey Mantle in 1962. Before that? Well that would be Williams himself!
Tris Speaker's 792 doubles seems it "could" be broken, but still you have to play a lot of years and be a good baserunner (able to turn a single into a double, or keep it as a double even if it's a sure triple, etc.). Pete Rose got up there with 746, but it took him 24 seasons (and 3,562 games... another unbreakable record?) to do that. Speaker played only 20 seasons on a shorter schedule (an average of nearly 40 a season).
Triples just don’t happen that often in today’s game, so holding it as a double when it’s a sure triple just doesn’t happen as much as it used to. Being able to turn a single into a double is more important as that’s needed a lot more often.
As I was reading this, I was thinking: Pete Rose must've come close.
It always makes me happy to see Ventura getting his ass kicked.
On that note, he has to hold the record of number of times a batter has been hit by a pitcher in a single at bat.
Fernando Tatis hitting 2 grand slams off the same pitcher in the same inning. That should have been #1 because no chance that will get broken.
Lol The Miami Marlins might challenge that one!
@@Ibhenriksen It will never happen. A manager would pull a pitcher way before he can give up a 2nd grand slam to the same hitter in the same inning
i watched that game and just about blew my lungs out screaming....lol
An u would have to hit 3 gs to beat the record. 2 would only tie that record cant be broken
@@teetee72772 who says the taters have to be given up by the same pitcher???
Ripken’s 2,632 consecutive seasons without missing a game is beyond amazing. That record will last forever
I never heard of him until tonight and I was a pretty big baseball fan.
@@hoponpop3330 LOL! How could you not know Cal Ripken, Jr and claim to be a baseball fan?
Cy Young’s wins record is also really unbreakable, a pitcher could have 25 wins for 20 years, and they still wouldn’t have as many wins.
His wins record would be broken before his complete games
Most no hitters is impossible to break. Nolan Ryan holds the record with 7 no hitters
And how many one hitters did he throw?
Nick Wride 12 one-hitters and 18 2-hitters.
I can throw 8 perfect games
Yeah, 7 no hitters is crazy. I believe next closest is Sandy Koufax with 4.
The 2 guys after him on the all time list, have 7 combined lol. Shows you how dominant Nolan Ryan was
The Baltimore Orioles have one record that I will shocked if it ever gets broken. Going 0-21 to start the season in 1988. In fact, the Orioles are the gift that keeps on giving: 10 home runs in one game by the Blue Jays against them. Losing a game 30-3 to Texas. Side record from that game: getting a save for preserving a 27 run lead.
Just celebrating the 35 years since the St. Louis Browns became the Baltimore Orioles
Dawson Wright: World Series drought record which is impossible to break.
Texas Rangers: Hold my beer
@juanharrybear, The Rangers haven't even been around for 100 years. The team started in 1961, that's only 57.
Why you bully me
@@chaseleighton7838 To be fair, we only fucked up one. We were flat out beat in 2010. 2011 was a different story.
Nolan Ryan! 7 CAREER NO HITTERS!
Ryan also pitched 12 one hitters( Bob Feller did it too).
Middle finger
Hoyt Wilhelm won 124 games in relief, still the record. His last appearance, for the Dodgers in 1972, came 16 days before his 50th birthday.
the stolen bases video should be called " why no stolen bases will RUIN the MLB", Great video by the way.
Hammerin' Hanks actual home run record....hello
They should take away bonds records because of steroids era
And Roger Maris single-season HR record since Sosa, Bonds and McGwire were juiced up.
Baseball should do what happened to Lance Armstrong, strip the cheater of their records and money too.
goodbye. bonds holds the record. that’s it
Yeah; drugs will do wonders!!!!!!!
Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers stole home seven times in one season, a record that may never be broken.
Ty Cobb did it 33 times in his career...totally unbreakable.
They were on the lookout for 42 lol
Rod Carew tied that record in 1969.
Barry Bonds was intentionally walked with the bases loaded, a 2-run lead & 2 outs in the 9th! LOL! Respect given! :)
Steroid King! Shame on you for glorifying him!
Jim Rice of Boston red Sox was intentionally walked 77 times in his 16 year career. Barry bonds was intentionally walked 77 times in may /June of 2002
I'm not 100% certain that statistics will back this up, but in some situations walking a power hitter with the bases loaded can make sense strategically. The team that walked Bonds with the bases loaded had a two-run lead in the ninth, where a hit would likely tie or lose the game. So, the other team gambited a run by walking Bonds, figuring they still win if they get the next batter out.
@@chetroberson5760 he’s the goat👑👑 BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY
Not a SINGLE OUNCE of respect deserved. Bonds doesn't deserve to sit in the same dugout with even the most average player.
The record th@ will never be broken because it is the unlikeliest is back to back home runs by father son, KEN GRIFFEY JR and KEN GRIFFEY SR!!!
Would a father son and grandson back-to-back-to-back combo be what would break it? Does JR have a son?
He means they both were playing in the game at the same time bro
Not really a "record". It was a fun fact, an accomplishment but last time I checked there are no official stats or records kept for "Father and sons who hit back to back home runs"
2632. Oh my god. Didn't he ever get the flu, diareea, spiked? This one will stand forever.
He was injured in a brawl against Seattle, but played the next day. In order for someone to break his record, they would have to play every day for 16.25 seasons.
N.Ryan's 5,714 K's , his { 7 } NH's and tied { 12 } 1 hitters , might be a little hard ? And how about the ADDS on this channel ?
I often wonder if Kofax would have most career no hitters if he played longer
I thought of Ryan right away
Pete Rose All Time Hits... He broke all types of records.
Yeah was an idiot of a person, but it takes nothing away from what he did on the field. Put him in the Hall already. A lot of those guys weren't choir boys
@@nicholasschroeder3678 irrelevant. Most hits all time. Pete's record will never be surpassed.
He was the last manager to shove an umpire.
Perhaps because Rose had some money $$$ on the game.
Player traded for radio Broadcaster: Ernie Harwell (1918-2010) was traded to the Brooklyn Dodgers for Cliff Dapper.
Pitcher to win the Home Run Crown: Babe Ruth
Most HR titles: Babe Ruth with 12
Most AVG titles: Ty Cobb with 12
Highest career batting AVG: Ty Cobb with .367
Runs scored in a season: Babe Ruth with 177
Highest batting AVG in a season: Rogers Hornsby with .424
Longest complete game start in WS History: Babe Ruth with a complete game 14 inning win in 1916
Most RBIs in a season: Hack Wilson with 190
SHO could win HR crown.
What about Nolan Ryan's strike outs and no hitters? I don't see any modern pitcher being able to touch either of these records.
...not to mention his 27 season career (another record)
Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak still stands out. The streak started on May 15, 1941
You forgot one , most steroids used to " break" the home run record , Hank Aaron is the true home run king and his record will never be broken
Ryan's 7 career no hitters
Ryan's Career strikeouts
DiMaggio's hit streak
Not to mention DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, or Pete Rose's 4,256 hits in a career.
When analytics fads into the trash heap of history, they can both be broken. Not likely, but possible.
6:35 LMAO He started 75 games in an 80 game season!?!?!? LMAO Thanks for the upload. Love hearing baseball stats and stories like these.👍🏼
What about 7 no hitters? Come on man
You got that right, agenda driven vids piss me off
Brennan Frawley
There are to many unbelievable records. Another one...Every baseball fans know Cal Ripken's 2632 consecutive games played mark. But he also played (MLB record) in 8,243 consecutive innings without sitting out (June 1982 to September 1987). Second on the list is George Pinckney who played in the 19th century. He's 3112 innings behind Ripken!
He should be there twice. 7 no hitters. I don't know how many 1 hitters and last but not least, strike out record.
Ryan.
Lewis Shepard 12 one-hitters (tied with Bob Feller) and 18 2-hitters for Ryan
Connie Mack managing the same team for 50 years.
Well, he was also the owner, so theoretically some young tech billionaire could buy a baseball team and manage it himself.
@@clydekaladi1069 Actually no. MLB changed the rules. It's been against the rules for an owner to manage the team for over 40 years.
@@clydekaladi1069 WhenTed Turner briefly managed the Braves- a team he owned- the commissioner quickly stepped in and said NO ,you are not allowed to manage the team.
I love baseball records. The game is so old and so varied it's just awesome learning about this stuff. Great video bro
How about hack Wilson's 192 RBIs
hack was beastly
The HR record is kind of silly.
Because the exact same thing was said about 714 and 755.
Yeah, seriously. Most pitching wins is much harder to beat, as no one has come close to approaching Cy Young over a hundred years after he retired.
TheBatugan77 in my mind 755 still hasn’t been broken
That is rude. 755 is the real record. Maybe more AB for Aaron but we are talking about the most HRs (without roids) and not the highest HR avg.
Hank never cheated! Not the same.
The record for pitching consecutive no-hitters is unbreakable. Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds pitched two consecutive no-hitters.
36 triples in a season by Owen Wilson will never be touched.
That's my friends great grandfather it's true believe me
Chief Wilson was born in Austin Texas
And Sam Crawford's 309 career triples. If someone gets half that, I'd be shocked.
Great Video! Also, you might want to make a part 2 of this because so many records will probably never be broken. Like DiMaggio’s or Williams’ records. Anyways, awesome video as always!!!⚾️⚾️🔥🔥
Triple G yeah I’ve been thinking about it
DiMaggio's 56 tough to beat, but not impossible. Guys get close to 40 on a regular basis.....still a ways to go, but one day that record will fall, because it takes less than half a season to beat.
What record does Williams own? Since 1901, the highest batting average is .424 by Rogers Hornsby. Williams was just the last to hit .400.
@@captaincarl8230
Last player to bat over .400 in a season. Top five career Batting Average. Second only to Babe Ruth in OPS.
Technically you are correct....none of these are no. 1 records, but, similar to DiMaggio, he never put up high career totals, because he missed 4 seasons in the prime of his career because of the war.
There is wide-spread agreement that he was one of the best hitters in the game.
@@captaincarl8230
...oh, and he shares the top record for Triple Crowns with Rogers Hornsby (2).
Here’s another great one. In 1927 when Ruth hit 60 homers, Gehrig, batting behind him clean up hit 175 rbis . Imagine, he came up at least 60 times that year with the bases empty after Ruth clear them. Wow
