Truly unbreakable: B.J. Gray won a game with the fewest number of pitches thrown, 0. He came into an inning with two outs and a runner on first. He picked him off, the Orioles took the lead in their at-bat, and he didn't return to the mound.
And they weren't his best years. Rickey Henderson is Barry Bonds levels of production, it was just in a different way. He is also a 3000 hit club member.
Butter Johnson haw haw Rickey was certainly the greatest leadoff man, but a comparable offensive player?? The only players in Barry’s class were Babe and Ted.
This channel is fucking amazing. It's the perfect blend of fun facts and humor with unique lists and great presence in the commentary. Well done, buddy
I was there at Dodger Stadium when Tatis hit two grand slams in the same inning. At the time no one really knew what it meant because everyone in the stadium was so shocked to see one, let alone two, grand slams in the same inning. I was sitting on the second level on the third base side. Despite what you may have heard about Dodger fans, at least two thirds of the stadium stood up an applauded for Tatis after this feat, including myself. Clearly it was something special. It wasn't until about the fifth inning when the news about the record started to be spread around. A few people were listening to the radio (I'm assuming Vin Scully) and heard it. Don't get me wrong, it was an awful game to watch if you were a Dodger fan, but my friend and I figured we got our money's worth. At least we got to applaud for something that day.
Johnny Damon came to bat 3 times in the first inning against Florida in 2003. He hit a single, double & triple in the inning. The only guy in history to have 3 different base hits in one inning.
Team with most pitchers that violated their contracts to dirt bike: 1(2017 SF Giants) Most homeruns hit out of Dodger Stadium in a carrer: 1(multiple) Scherzer is pretty much the best righty in the game, and has 2 different colored eyes
Roger Clemens won 7 Cy Youngs. 3 with the Red Sox, 2 with Toronto and 1 each with Houston and the NY Yankees. I don't see that record being broken. Also Ty Cobb won 11 batting titles. I don't see that being broken. I also don't see his .367 lifetime batting average being surpassed.
I don't know how true that is, considering there were reports of basbeball players back before the age of TV targeting birds with linedrives... and being very successful at it. They used to hold bets in the dugouts as to who would hit the most birds that day.
Tristan MacLeod I know. I was commenting to Bennet on the overall record. I've heard unconfirmed stories of guys hitting as may as 3-4 birds in a game back 1890s-1930s... including one story of Rogers Hornsby hitting three with the same line drive. But of course, there's no video from back then and most of the stories come second or even third hand.
Pete Rose's hit record. Getting 3000 hits is considered huge, and most hitters are at the end of their careers at that point. 1256 extra hits are a lot.
The one that no one talks about, even though no one has come remotely close in 86 years, is 191 RBI's in a season. So many factors have to gel over an entire season to have any chance to get that high.
I think if Billy Hamilton could hit around .320 for a season, he may be able to steal nearly 130 bases, but it won’t happen because he struggles to maintain a .200 avg
So true. In 2012, in AA league, Hamilton batted .311 with 159 hits, had 86 walks and had 155 steals. Imagine if he could've had that kind of hitting ability against major league pitching.
I would say that most records held by Pete Rose are fairly unbreakable, but this one stands out to me as being so absurdly unreachable that I cannot see it being remotely reached by anyone. Most career winning games played- 1,972 100 win seasons by a team are pretty rare, these days. A player having 19 straight years of 100 wins, would still be 73 wins short of breaking it.
What about Pete Rose's most important record... No NOT 4,256!!!! Rose's record of at least 500 starts at 5 different positions (1b, 2b, 3b, rf, lf) will still be around after some of these records are broken. It will stand the test of time because people aren't versatile like that anymore. Star players that are around for a long time play maybe one or two positions that's it.
if he struck out less and/or walked more he would break it this year. he has to be the fastest man on a diamond ever. his home to first is a whole second faster than league average!
1:05 Walter Johnson 113 Shutouts 2:30 Most HRs in Two Games 4:10 Rickey Henderson 130 Steals 6:32 Two Grand Slams in 1 Inning 8:32 Two Consecutive No-Hitters You're Welcome
jordan .. Yeah...... pretty tough...... Unless another Ichiro is born in America........ But I don't think we'll ever see that. He's a one in a gazillion player...
You need a great both-sides hitter to break that record. Your back will not be optimal after 2,000+ G and 10,000+ AB batting from one side only. Rose 4,000+ hits and Ryan’s 5,000 SO are the kind of records that money can’t break.
Jaime Rosario Justicia Stats tend to prove that switch hitters aren't optimal for record breaking. You have to travel way down the list on most batting leaderboards to find a switch hitter.
I'd argue that the best chance someone would have to break the 5 HRs in two games would be if A) the guys in front of him weren't getting on base and B) the guy behind him was also hitting bombs, and C) the guy was also a fast baserunner in a close game. All of those things would make it more likely that the pitcher would still be willing to pitch to him and not walk him.
In the case of the case of Van der Meer's 2 straight no-hitters, NO ONE will come close to breaking that. The one pitcher I actually saw getting close was Jake Arrieta in 2015, he pitched a no-no against the Dodgers and took a perfect game to the 7th inning on his next start. That is way too difficult to break.
People who say Billy Hamilton has a chance at beating Ricky Henderson's 130 stolen base record obviously don't know what it takes to steal a base. Yes, you have to be fast. But you have to be smart as well. Not only on the base path, but at the plate too. You have to have a good OBP.
How about a player hitting for the home run cycle. A solo shot, two run shot, three run shot, and grand slam all in the same game. Wake me up when that happens.
No, they would not walk the guy after a bunch of home runs in two games. Weird things happen over small sample sizes. Teams are not very susceptible to the hot hand fallacy here in the analytical era of our game. It's the same with the shift. Sometimes guys beat it. Sometimes they beat it twice or three times in a row. That's irrelevant to the trend. The fielders will still shift for the guy's next at bat.
And yet.. we see it happen all the time. Just last year the Cubs began walking Harper every time he came to the plate after he hit 3 HR in the first 2 games of a series. That's just one example.
Jim Palmer had 268 career wins and eight - 20 win seasons and never gave up a grand slam home run. That would be hard to break. In more recent history Giancarlo Stanton has struck out 5 times in a game twice this year all ready. He may do it several more times this year. That might be an unbreakable record as 95% of players never come to bat 5 times in one game.
I predicted Tatis's 2nd Grand Slam. - We were driving home on a trip, listening to the game. When he came up to the plate the 2nd time w/ the bases loaded, I told my GF (now wife) that he was going to hit another one. She freaked out when he did!
In 1969 the Orioles should have walked Donn Clendenon whenever he came up. Thus making it impossible for him to hit any more home runs against them. When a player is killing you ... you walk him.
Some more fun facts about that season from Rickey Henderson: the Cleveland Indians were the only *team* in the AL to steal more bases than him that year, and he didn't even play the full 162, he missed some of September with an injury.
Interesting question to ask a baseball history buff. If your team was behind by a run, 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, who would you want at bat? DiMaggio, Williams, or Musial? No thought required, Musial!
Eric Trumpler I didn't dismiss Williams, he is considered by many people, the greatest hitter of all time. My point was, that in a clutch situation, I would opt for Musial to be at bat.
+Joe New Hampshire Well Stan Musial needed 3000 more at bats than Williams to reach just 100 more career RBIs..... so I think my choice would still be Ted....the argument you may have both for DiMaggio and Musial ahead of Williams is that their teams were more successful....
Um... personally, I would have replaced one of these with "youngest MLB player". There's no way from now to the end of time that another 15 year old is going to play the sport.
very true however.... there could be another war although it would be different this time around because non white players are aloud in the league so they could just get immigrants
I remember when walter Johnson had the strikeout record, hear the story when Walter Johnson saw bob feller pitch in person close up he I got book but not near by, Bob feller fastball like wow, another pitch Walter Johnson say bob feller smokes the ball , but said did not throw faster
William Lane well that was 2 modern players that were close to the record. I could see that record being broken, especially with all the inside happy pitchers now.
Chief Wilson's record of regular season triples (36) for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1912 will never be broken - the next best is two seasons with 25, and they were set in 1914 (Jack Crawford) and 1925 (Kiki Cuyler) respectively.
This is precisely the reason why the old time hitters aren't nearly as impressive. They were facing starters pitching complete games on three days rest. Babe Ruth was hitting 50-60 home runs off of perpetually gassed pitchers. No fireballing closers, no calculated approach to pitch counts, bullpens, etc, weaker average pitching, etc. There are a LOT of other reasons that are more publicized - segregation, evolution of the sport, evolution of the athlete, etc. But this one is huge, and no one seems to talk about it. Also, Rickey Henderson would never steal 130 bases today. With the replay killing a lot of would-be steals 30 years ago, he wouldn't have been nearly as high. However, the analysts do get it wrong regarding the value of steals with prodigious stealers. The idea that the dude is going to constantly run on you is in the pitcher's head, and distracts him, and that effect can't be quantified by any data.
take heed It does when they pitch 165 pitches on Monday and he takes them yard in the first inning of a Wednesday game. Most teams barely had a bullpen back then.
Had this discussion a fews times with friends. We came to the conclusion that the absolute most unbreakable (even untieable) record seems to be most complete games pitched in a single day (2).
If you're including the dead-ball era, you forgot Will White's record of 75 complete games in one season. If not, then it would be Bob Feller with 36. Also, love the channel man!
With that logic, Rickey doesn't own the stolen base record and it becomes even more impossible to break. 138 SB by Hugh Nicol in 1887. Yes Bob Feller is another impossible record, good call. It's funny because even if a pitcher could last that long nowadays you're only getting 33-35 starts so they would fall short on that alone.
Amazing video, dude! All your videos are fantastic. I don't know how you find the obscure, crazy, whacky, zany stuff you do. I logged in with two separate accounts so I could subscribe to you twice. Keep it up!
The statisticians are uncovering the true nature of the game. Today's baseball teams are getting closer and closer to the optimal strategy, and that's exciting. I don't know about you, but I'm glad my team isn't doing things like they were done in the game's stone age. Base stealing usually decreases the expected runs my team scores in the inning. Why would I want them to do that? There's no going back to the way things were done before. Pandora's box has been opened.
Do you want to win, or do you want to have fun? Teams prefer to win, so the Stolen Bases are on their way out. Same thing with Starters throwing fewer pitches now.
Dumb ass nerds. Guys steals second with 2 outs. Ball is hit into out feild. Run is scored.Guy doesn't steal second. Ball hit to out field. Runner on 3rd. Now team can walk next batter for weaker. Also the odds of consecutive hits to score that runner no steal.?
pitchers back then also didn't rely on the strikeout as heavily as it was much less common, probably putting less tax on the arm by not having to throw as many pitches
Pitchers today pitch more breaking pitches than those of the past. The arm motion required for those breaking pitches puts more strain on the elbow than throwing a fastball does.
I wouldn't go as far as saying that since screwballs, sliders and curveball have been in the game since almost it's inception. also relievers like Andrew Miller tend to throw their sliders 60% of the time in 70+ innings per season, whereas starters throw them at much lower rates. but the ferocity of the delivery is where I believe the problem lies
back in the day deliveries were smooth and easy and pitchers weren't always throwing at 100%...now every pitch it's coming in as hard as possible but it's no longer smooth and easy
I can't believe no one has mentioned Matt Kilroy's record of 513 strikeouts in a single season. Even if you pitched in half your team's total season games you would need to have around 7 strikeouts per game. Amazingly, Kilroy did this as a 19 year old rookie.
If a player stole 100 bases for 14 straight seasons he still wouldn't beat Ricky. Hamilton averages around 50. He's not even gonna steal 800 let alone over 1,400
Actually I think his record for most losses in a career is less likely to be broken. No one will last in the MLB with 20 losses a year for 15 years. It is possible to win 30 games a year for 17 years.
Greg C "It is possible to win 30 games a year for 17 years." Yet there hasn't been a 30-win season since 1968 by Deny McClain did it through 41 games. Before that, you have to go all the way back to Dizzy Dean in 1934 who went 30-7 in 50 games. You say that it's possible... but not really when it's rare a starting pitcher takes the mound more than 34 times a year, and that could drop as more teams are using a swing man to start 10-15 games a year and cutting down starts for the rest of their rotation. I mean, this only applies with the very most literal definition of "possible". Personally, I don't think anyone has any chance at all of breaking either of Cy's records. The best pitcher of all time, Walter Johnson, managed a record of 417-279 in 21 seasons, but he didn't pitch in half of his team's games like Cy Young did. We've also entered an era where 300 wins isn't even a probable milestone with 5+ man rotations, quick-draw DL trips, pitch limits, and excellerated bull pen strategies.
Jerry Mcmanus I get what he was trying to say, but there's nothing relative about his statement. Neither of those records have any chance of being broken in the modern era of baseball... and for the same exact reason. No one will ever have an honest manner of reaching either of them. So, they're pretty much equally unbreakable.
L Droppers 59 is not 61, and 61 home runs for a non cheater has stood for 57 years, so no it won't. The only way the record is going to get broken as if there is some rule change in baseball. Something like allowing corked or aluminum bats, bringing the outfield walls in, lowering the pitcher's mound, or something like that. Hell, the record has even withstood 27 years of the Colorado Rockies being in the league.
L Droppers Not to mention the Babe was swinging a tree trunk because back then they thought a heavier bat made the ball go further. As it turns out, the opposite is true.
Career innings pitched, triples in a career, errors in a career, errors in a season by a third baseman, errors in a single season by a pitcher, triples in a season, any single season error record really, runners caught stealing by a catcher in a career, single season WAR.....well, I think I've made my point. The list is seemingly endless (but of course it's not).....
You should just include Barry Bonds' entire career. I seriously doubt anyone will ever beat his single season OPS numbers or the number of MVPs he won. He led the league in OBP in his final season as a 42 year old and hit 28 home runs. He has the most ridiculous numbers and no one will ever come close to them for a variety of reasons.
managers understand that the 2/3 chance of being caught stealing isn’t worth it but the 100% chance of giving your opponent a free runner with an intentional walk is fine. Makes perfect sense.
I love this video, but my problem is there is an assumption baseball won't change. It will find a way to adapt and so some of the reasons you have listed will no longer apply. Great video though
Here are 7 as of Nov 27/ 2018 in no particular order. 1. Babe Ruth single season 177 Runs. 2. Nap Lajoie .426 single season batting avg. Has stood now for 117 years. 3. Ty Cobb career .367 batting avg. 4. Sam Crawford 309 triples, has stood for over 100 years. 5. Pete Rose all time Plate Apprarances 15,890, nobody has come close over the past 32 years. 6. Barry Bonds 2558 walks. 7. Barry Bonds all time intentional walks 688.
Dave Stieb got a chance to get ONE no hitter in two games in the same week; that ended on the last strike of the last out both times. Go Blue Jays. I felt so terrible for the guy when I saw the documentary by John Bois’ Chart Party series - and it happened 40 years ago
Billy Hamilton stole 155 bases in 2012... in the minor leagues. He also did it in only 136 games. And he only had 159 hits (plus 86 walks). I know it was in the minors (mostly AA i think), but still a hell of an accomplishment at any level of pro ball.
Here is another one : in the World Series of 1957 Lew Burdette pitched/ had three complete game victories (games 2,5,&7). In order to beat that record a pitcher would need four complete wins and at minimum three days of weather postponements (games 1,game 3 after postponement, game 5 after a postponement, and game 7 after a postponement).
I think the number 1 record WILL be beat. 3 consecutive no-nos. I predict there may be a pitcher than throws 10 no-nos in a season. There was a kid in one of the former USSR countries that had a unique delivery that allowed him to throw over 115 mph. Yes, he blew his arm out before he made it to college but it proved it is possible. And then there are knuckleball throwers. Someone will improve on that. And, if/when the league expands the strike zone to where it originated and not the tiny zone it is now... someone will master sliders that cut the corners and add in disappearing changeups. And if that person also has a 115 mph... come on. And add in the fans desire for power hitters. There could be huge hitters all down the roster that cannot hit outside pitches or high pitches because their bodies are so bulky they can't move that way.
Way late reply, but no one who throws that fast is having any career in the majors. Because of exactly what you just mentioned. Ligaments just can't withstand that kind of strain. He'd blow his arm out pitching 3 straight complete games with heat like that. And again, complete games themselves are just rare these days. People will tie it, no one's beating it.
Truly unbreakable: B.J. Gray won a game with the fewest number of pitches thrown, 0. He came into an inning with two outs and a runner on first. He picked him off, the Orioles took the lead in their at-bat, and he didn't return to the mound.
That's actually kinda great
Very cool
Dean Stone won the 1954 All Star Game doing the same thing.
Cy Young - 749 complete games. No one will ever come close.
Nope. Wrong

I'd argue that the best chance someone would have to break the 5 HRs in two games would be if A) the guys in front of him weren't getting on base and B) the guy behind him was also hitting bombs, and C) the guy was also a fast baserunner in a close game. All of those things would make it more likely that the pitcher would still be willing to pitch to him and not walk him.
Or if both games go into extra innings. Like if they were 12 inning games

Rangers vs. Orioles the 30 unanswered runs that the rangers dropped will probably never be beat.
In the case of the case of Van der Meer's 2 straight no-hitters, NO ONE will come close to breaking that. The one pitcher I actually saw getting close was Jake Arrieta in 2015, he pitched a no-no against the Dodgers and took a perfect game to the 7th inning on his next start. That is way too difficult to break.
drums4metal to think that in order to break Van der Meer's record you'd have to throw 3 in a row! Idts
People who say Billy Hamilton has a chance at beating Ricky Henderson's 130 stolen base record obviously don't know what it takes to steal a base. Yes, you have to be fast. But you have to be smart as well. Not only on the base path, but at the plate too. You have to have a good OBP.
How about a player hitting for the home run cycle. A solo shot, two run shot, three run shot, and grand slam all in the same game. Wake me up when that happens.
It's possible
orel hershiser's 59 consecutive scoreless innings or the record of the longest running infield, Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, Ron Cey
No, they would not walk the guy after a bunch of home runs in two games. Weird things happen over small sample sizes. Teams are not very susceptible to the hot hand fallacy here in the analytical era of our game.
It's the same with the shift. Sometimes guys beat it. Sometimes they beat it twice or three times in a row. That's irrelevant to the trend. The fielders will still shift for the guy's next at bat.
And yet.. we see it happen all the time. Just last year the Cubs began walking Harper every time he came to the plate after he hit 3 HR in the first 2 games of a series. That's just one example.
Jim Palmer had 268 career wins and eight - 20 win seasons and never gave up a grand slam home run. That would be
hard to break. In more recent history Giancarlo Stanton has struck out 5 times in a game twice this year all ready. He may
do it several more times this year. That might be an unbreakable record as 95% of players never come to bat 5 times in one
game.

Willie McGee holds the record for most steals by an alien. Dude, your videos are hilarious
I think giving up 2 grand slams in an inning will also remain unbroken.
Ryan Kuroiwa who was the pitcher
I predicted Tatis's 2nd Grand Slam. - We were driving home on a trip, listening to the game. When he came up to the plate the 2nd time w/ the bases loaded, I told my GF (now wife) that he was going to hit another one. She freaked out when he did!
Lol thats your ex girlfriend (now wife) ;)
Ronald Tipton your a genius!
Ricky henderson is amazing. the only guy better now is billy hamilton. Except he can't get on base lol. stealing bases is vital to getting runs.
Landon Duplechin maybe Dee Gordon could do it.
Landon Duplechin Trea Turner
Hamilton better than RIckey? Fuck no not even close.
What a joke. Billy Hamilton sucks.
Ricky Bachman He’s talking about speed just in general
In 1969 the Orioles should have walked Donn Clendenon whenever he came up. Thus making it impossible for him to hit any more home runs against them. When a player is killing you ... you walk him.
Sliding Billys 192 runs in a single season (1894).
Some more fun facts about that season from Rickey Henderson: the Cleveland Indians were the only *team* in the AL to steal more bases than him that year, and he didn't even play the full 162, he missed some of September with an injury.
5 hits in a game, been done several times. How about doing it with only 5 swings! Musial did it.
Musial one of the most underrated hitters in the history of baseball
Interesting question to ask a baseball history buff. If your team was behind by a run, 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, who would you want at bat? DiMaggio, Williams, or Musial? No thought required, Musial!
+Joe New Hampshire
Why do you dismiss Ted Williams without thinking about it? He had the higher average and a lot if RBIs....
Eric Trumpler I didn't dismiss Williams, he is considered by many people, the greatest hitter of all time. My point was, that in a clutch situation, I would opt for Musial to be at bat.
+Joe New Hampshire
Well Stan Musial needed 3000 more at bats than Williams to reach just 100 more career RBIs..... so I think my choice would still be Ted....the argument you may have both for DiMaggio and Musial ahead of Williams is that their teams were more successful....
I am glad that I was born in St.Louis in 1956. When baseball was BASEBALL.
Um... personally, I would have replaced one of these with "youngest MLB player".
There's no way from now to the end of time that another 15 year old is going to play the sport.
very true however.... there could be another war although it would be different this time around because non white players are aloud in the league so they could just get immigrants
They might just allow a 14 year old to hit once as a DH, just to break the record.
But Henry rowengartner is the youngest person to ever play in the mlb at 12 years old
so glad I happened to stumble upon your channel....great mix of sarcastic humor with sports facts....btw LGR...game six tonight
Who is watching this at 2018
The big train could PITCH!
I remember when walter Johnson had the strikeout record, hear the story when Walter Johnson saw bob feller pitch in person close up he I got book but not near by, Bob feller fastball like wow, another pitch Walter Johnson say bob feller smokes the ball , but said did not throw faster
What about the record for hitting fivepoints with a fucking bat until he breaks his arm.
really dude
FivePoints Gaming yes.
FivePoints Gaming You want me to break that record?
LMFAO! This is hilarious! The way he talks reminds me of drunk history.
thanks man !
what about steve pierce 2 walk off grand slams in 4 days
I'm slowly falling in love with you Five point vids
Hughie Jennings hbp record won't be broken either. It's at 287. Chase Utley is the next closest at 190. Craig Biggio was 2 away from breaking it.
William Lane well that was 2 modern players that were close to the record. I could see that record being broken, especially with all the inside happy pitchers now.
Brandon Bidstrup - I agree it could be broken. There are many players that are crowding the plate more than ever as well.
Chief Wilson's record of regular season triples (36) for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1912 will never be broken - the next best is two seasons with 25, and they were set in 1914 (Jack Crawford) and 1925 (Kiki Cuyler) respectively.
This is precisely the reason why the old time hitters aren't nearly as impressive. They were facing starters pitching complete games on three days rest. Babe Ruth was hitting 50-60 home runs off of perpetually gassed pitchers. No fireballing closers, no calculated approach to pitch counts, bullpens, etc, weaker average pitching, etc.
There are a LOT of other reasons that are more publicized - segregation, evolution of the sport, evolution of the athlete, etc. But this one is huge, and no one seems to talk about it.
Also, Rickey Henderson would never steal 130 bases today. With the replay killing a lot of would-be steals 30 years ago, he wouldn't have been nearly as high.
However, the analysts do get it wrong regarding the value of steals with prodigious stealers. The idea that the dude is going to constantly run on you is in the pitcher's head, and distracts him, and that effect can't be quantified by any data.
great comment
Ruth hit most of his HR in the first inning, so the Gased pitcher thing don't cut mustard.
take heed It does when they pitch 165 pitches on Monday and he takes them yard in the first inning of a Wednesday game. Most teams barely had a bullpen back then.
Had this discussion a fews times with friends. We came to the conclusion that the absolute most unbreakable (even untieable) record seems to be most complete games pitched in a single day (2).
If you're including the dead-ball era, you forgot Will White's record of 75 complete games in one season. If not, then it would be Bob Feller with 36. Also, love the channel man!
With that logic, Rickey doesn't own the stolen base record and it becomes even more impossible to break. 138 SB by Hugh Nicol in 1887. Yes Bob Feller is another impossible record, good call. It's funny because even if a pitcher could last that long nowadays you're only getting 33-35 starts so they would fall short on that alone.
Or how about Christy Matthewsen's three shutouts in a five-game World Series?
Amazing video, dude! All your videos are fantastic. I don't know how you find the obscure, crazy, whacky, zany stuff you do. I logged in with two separate accounts so I could subscribe to you twice. Keep it up!
Steve Nelson thanks man, i really appreciate the positive feedback and thanks again for the 2 for 1 lol
The statisticians are ruining baseball. Stolen bases are on of the more exciting parts of the game.
The statisticians are uncovering the true nature of the game. Today's baseball teams are getting closer and closer to the optimal strategy, and that's exciting.
I don't know about you, but I'm glad my team isn't doing things like they were done in the game's stone age. Base stealing usually decreases the expected runs my team scores in the inning. Why would I want them to do that?
There's no going back to the way things were done before. Pandora's box has been opened.
Bob smith You wont win with SBs and its as simple as that
Do you want to win, or do you want to have fun? Teams prefer to win, so the Stolen Bases are on their way out. Same thing with Starters throwing fewer pitches now.
+lewiszim The fuck?
Dumb ass nerds. Guys steals second with 2 outs. Ball is hit into out feild. Run is scored.Guy doesn't steal second. Ball hit to out field. Runner on 3rd. Now team can walk next batter for weaker. Also the odds of consecutive hits to score that runner no steal.?
The " Life Sentence- HANG IN THERE, AARON " Is Uncalled For !!!!!
Pete Rose?
Pete rose 4100 plus hit might be unbreakable, ty cobb old record
The random Aaron Hernandez meme at 8:08 is absolutely savage
Where's the Notification Squad at?
Direct Deposit probably dead.
Youngest player to actually play the game: Joe Nuxhall made his debut in a Reds uniform at age 15.
Yep during WW2
I'm pretty sure that pitchers pitched full games more back then because they weren't pitching as fast as they do now.
pitchers back then also didn't rely on the strikeout as heavily as it was much less common, probably putting less tax on the arm by not having to throw as many pitches
But since sabermetricians seem to think the strikeout isn't a free out but a bunt/caught is...pitches thrown per game will likely continue to rise
Pitchers today pitch more breaking pitches than those of the past. The arm motion required for those breaking pitches puts more strain on the elbow than throwing a fastball does.
I wouldn't go as far as saying that since screwballs, sliders and curveball have been in the game since almost it's inception. also relievers like Andrew Miller tend to throw their sliders 60% of the time in 70+ innings per season, whereas starters throw them at much lower rates. but the ferocity of the delivery is where I believe the problem lies
back in the day deliveries were smooth and easy and pitchers weren't always throwing at 100%...now every pitch it's coming in as hard as possible but it's no longer smooth and easy
Willie McGee, the most stolen bases by an alien. I actually died there
I think the 5 homeruns in one day is impossible to break, ( done by Stan Musial and Nate Colbert) for the same reasons plus not many double headers
I can't believe no one has mentioned Matt Kilroy's record of 513 strikeouts in a single season. Even if you pitched in half your team's total season games you would need to have around 7 strikeouts per game. Amazingly, Kilroy did this as a 19 year old rookie.
idk about the steals billy hamilton steals like nothing
he would have to really try for it and plus pitchers deliverys have become so quick
He wont even come close.
If a player stole 100 bases for 14 straight seasons he still wouldn't beat Ricky. Hamilton averages around 50. He's not even gonna steal 800 let alone over 1,400
@@stonerbellinger8679 he can't even get on base😂😂 so, good luck with Billy
@@alking0077 ya he doesn't even get enough opportunities
What about winning your first home mlb pitching debut and scoring back to back to back homeruns in your first three Games as a Dh
I think the hardest record to be broken is 511 wins by cy young
or jack chesbro 40 some odd wins
Actually I think his record for most losses in a career is less likely to be broken. No one will last in the MLB with 20 losses a year for 15 years. It is possible to win 30 games a year for 17 years.
Aidan Bauer right
Greg C "It is possible to win 30 games a year for 17 years." Yet there hasn't been a 30-win season since 1968 by Deny McClain did it through 41 games. Before that, you have to go all the way back to Dizzy Dean in 1934 who went 30-7 in 50 games. You say that it's possible... but not really when it's rare a starting pitcher takes the mound more than 34 times a year, and that could drop as more teams are using a swing man to start 10-15 games a year and cutting down starts for the rest of their rotation. I mean, this only applies with the very most literal definition of "possible".
Personally, I don't think anyone has any chance at all of breaking either of Cy's records. The best pitcher of all time, Walter Johnson, managed a record of 417-279 in 21 seasons, but he didn't pitch in half of his team's games like Cy Young did. We've also entered an era where 300 wins isn't even a probable milestone with 5+ man rotations, quick-draw DL trips, pitch limits, and excellerated bull pen strategies.
Jerry Mcmanus I get what he was trying to say, but there's nothing relative about his statement. Neither of those records have any chance of being broken in the modern era of baseball... and for the same exact reason. No one will ever have an honest manner of reaching either of them. So, they're pretty much equally unbreakable.
Also the record for stealing home in a season and career stealing home is couple of almost never will be broken
If Billy Hamilton can get better at hitting he will beat 130 stolen bases
No he won't.
Jack Chesbro 41 wins in a season in 1904. Never be broken.
I'd say Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs by a non-cheater is unbreakable.
Roadstar1602 Stanton got 59 and he didn’t even have the highest homerun percentage it definitely will be broken
L Droppers 59 is not 61, and 61 home runs for a non cheater has stood for 57 years, so no it won't. The only way the record is going to get broken as if there is some rule change in baseball. Something like allowing corked or aluminum bats, bringing the outfield walls in, lowering the pitcher's mound, or something like that. Hell, the record has even withstood 27 years of the Colorado Rockies being in the league.
Roadstar1602 you could also argue babe Ruth had the record because Gwen babe Ruth played they had less games and hit 60 homeruns before Rodger maris
L Droppers I would not argue that at all. The man never played more than 154 games.
L Droppers Not to mention the Babe was swinging a tree trunk because back then they thought a heavier bat made the ball go further. As it turns out, the opposite is true.
Chief Wilson's record of 36 triples in a season (1912 - Pittsburgh Pirates) will never be broken.
Really nice. Very nice video. You're doing so good !
Career innings pitched, triples in a career, errors in a career, errors in a season by a third baseman, errors in a single season by a pitcher, triples in a season, any single season error record really, runners caught stealing by a catcher in a career, single season WAR.....well, I think I've made my point. The list is seemingly endless (but of course it's not).....
You should just include Barry Bonds' entire career. I seriously doubt anyone will ever beat his single season OPS numbers or the number of MVPs he won. He led the league in OBP in his final season as a 42 year old and hit 28 home runs. He has the most ridiculous numbers and no one will ever come close to them for a variety of reasons.
Highest number of Inside the Park Walk-off Grand Slams: 1. (Roberto Clemente)
managers understand that the 2/3 chance of being caught stealing isn’t worth it but the 100% chance of giving your opponent a free runner with an intentional walk is fine.
Makes perfect sense.
I love this video, but my problem is there is an assumption baseball won't change. It will find a way to adapt and so some of the reasons you have listed will no longer apply. Great video though
You forgot about the Cubs having the longest World series championship drout in MLB history. That shit will never be broken.

Dave Stieb got a chance to get ONE no hitter in two games in the same week; that ended on the last strike of the last out both times. Go Blue Jays. I felt so terrible for the guy when I saw the documentary by John Bois’ Chart Party series - and it happened 40 years ago
Vander Meer was an above average pitcher. He led the NL in SOs 3 straight years, won 15+ games 5 times and played in 3 all-star games.
Billy Hamilton stole 155 bases in 2012... in the minor leagues. He also did it in only 136 games. And he only had 159 hits (plus 86 walks). I know it was in the minors (mostly AA i think), but still a hell of an accomplishment at any level of pro ball.
7:17 Bases loaded..nice reference! Memories. Bay was a wrecking crew.
Here is another one : in the World Series of 1957 Lew Burdette pitched/ had three complete game victories (games 2,5,&7). In order to beat that record a pitcher would need four complete wins and at minimum three days of weather postponements (games 1,game 3 after postponement, game 5 after a postponement, and game 7 after a postponement).
I love your channel dude 😂😂
I think the number 1 record WILL be beat. 3 consecutive no-nos. I predict there may be a pitcher than throws 10 no-nos in a season. There was a kid in one of the former USSR countries that had a unique delivery that allowed him to throw over 115 mph. Yes, he blew his arm out before he made it to college but it proved it is possible. And then there are knuckleball throwers. Someone will improve on that. And, if/when the league expands the strike zone to where it originated and not the tiny zone it is now... someone will master sliders that cut the corners and add in disappearing changeups. And if that person also has a 115 mph... come on. And add in the fans desire for power hitters. There could be huge hitters all down the roster that cannot hit outside pitches or high pitches because their bodies are so bulky they can't move that way.
Way late reply, but no one who throws that fast is having any career in the majors. Because of exactly what you just mentioned. Ligaments just can't withstand that kind of strain. He'd blow his arm out pitching 3 straight complete games with heat like that. And again, complete games themselves are just rare these days. People will tie it, no one's beating it.
The Red Sox Gene Stephens (June 18, 1953) and Johnny Damon (June 27th 2003) both had three hits in one inning.
