Ty Cobb
54 total Home plate steals.
The game is played to fast today to even approch this record. plus the player with the most in the modern era has 17 ( Rod Carew)
just to get things started.
Nicely done train.
I'll make an obvious one. Joe DiMaggio 56 game Hitting Streak .
Ask Chase Utley how much pressure is on you once you hit 30 games And thats 26 games away
here's a "getting back to my roots" record:
*Nolan Ryan's 7 no-hitters...with situatational hitting...increased reliance on relievers and focus on pitch counts...if a pitcher gets to 2 no-hitters in his career that is something to talk about...
Are there any unbreakable Soccer records?
It's funny Jimbo, the first thing that came into my mind was 5,714 strikeouts.
When I was a kid I completely worshiped Nolan Ryan. The guy was a god to me.
Just look at the list:
Nolan Ryan - 5,714
Roger Clemens - 4,502
Randy Johnson - 4,372
The closest guy is an old man who's 1200 STRIKEOUTS BACK!!!
That's just sick.
I thought it was Top 5's... anyhoo:
Pele's 1,281 Goals.
Ya'll have heard of him haven't you? Over the course of his professional career he scored a world record 1,281 goals in 1360 premier level matches. That's an astounding career pace of almost 1 goal per game. Only one other professional soccer player in history has broken the 1,000 goal barrier in a career and that was Arthur Friedenreich, another Brazilian who played during the pre-modern era from 1910-34 in Brazil and scored 1239 goals. There are no modern players who are remotely close to ever breaking any of Pele's major records. Pele also has a world record 92 hat tricks. And during international play scored 97 goals during his 92 international caps. In other words, his game and scoring pace actually elevated when playing at the World Cup level.
He was voted Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 yet never participated in the Olympic games.
I'm not as much of a baseball or NFL fan as i am N. f'in B. A. fan. One name Wilt Chamberlain. Michael Jordan isn't even in the TOP10, he's 11th.
Pts Player,
100 Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia New York 3/2/1962
81 Kobe Bryant, LA Lakers Toronto 1/22/2006
78 Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia LA Lakers 12/8/1961 (3OT)
73 David Thompson, Denver Detroit 4/9/1978
73 Wilt Chamberlain, San Francisco New York 11/16/1962
73 Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia Chicago 1/13/1962
72 Wilt Chamberlain, San Francisco LA Lakers 11/3/1962
71 David Robinson, San Antonio LA Clippers 4/24/1994
71 Elgin Baylor, LA Lakers New York 11/15/1960
70 Wilt Chamberlain, San Francisco Syracuse 3/10/1963
These are most points in a game by one player.
Good call duke. Plus wilt has 6 of the top ten and 20000 women. He is a god
Wilt Chamberlain's immune system clearly has the ability to fend off any venereal disease. He should shoot for Nobel Prize now in STD reasearch cures.
It seems that there are so many baseball related. It is such a game of Stats. Ripkens consecutive games streak, Cy youngs 511 Wins,
there's also Ron Fairly's record of 10+ years in the broadcasting booth without making a single-interesting comment...
I think that's because Baseball's the one with the richest history, and it's the sport that is the fondest of its history.
Plus, as hard as it is to imagine, Baseball really was the American Pastime. We loved that sport more than any other game. I think that period of time will always give it an edge to other sports when it comes to the weight of it records.
AMEN to that Jimbo!
How about John Wooden's 88 straight wins?
....or Wayne Gretzky's 215 point season in 1985-86??
Alright...here's my top 10 as far as baseball records go:
10. Career Grandslams (Lou Gherig- 23)
9. Stolen Bases (Ricky Henderson- 1270)
8. Pitching Wins (Cy Young - 511)
7. Career Triples (Sam Crawford - 309)
6. Consecutive Games Played (Ripkins 2632)
5. Hitting Streak (Dimaggio's 56)
4. No Hitters (Nolan Ryan - 7)
3. Strikeouts (Nolan Ryan - 5714)
2. Single Season Average (Hugh Duffy - .440)
1. Complete Games (Cy Young- 749)
I nominate Wooden's 88 straight wins as #1, but will have to politely call 'BS' on Gretzky because there is to be no mention of Hockey in the Lodge unless it is a)regarding Hartford Whalers or b)the hotness (including pictures) of the Eastern European girlfriend(s) of said Hockey Player(s) or c) Alyssa Milano
Hugh Duffy
Oops...sorry about that. I was unaware of the aversion.....point noted.
I hate hockey anyways.....
