Records in sports that won't be broke.

[shotsup 835]

NY Islanders 19 consecutive playoff series wins.

[iam90sbaby 2,727]

 

So your qualifying factors are:

Must be standing

Must include ball

 

Thats it?

I knew a girl in college who rowed crew (beefy girl, can size not much) who gave me a hard time that baseball and golf were not sports. I argued back that crew was not a sport but rather a test of physical prowess, on the basis that I defined a sport as needing a ball or similar projectile which accomplished the scoring. Baseball, basketball, football, hockey all sports. As are golf, curling, darts, and billiards. Crew, not so much.

 

I didn't really believe that but it had a great trolling effect.

As a multi-sport athlete all my life, I simply know what takes athleticism and what doesn't. I'm not saying there's no skill involved in racing. But to call guys sitting on their asses all day turning left an athlete, is certainly a stretch. Also, if women can compete at the same level as men, it's probably safe to say it's not a real sport. HTH

Newbie FTW

[Mike Honcho 5,435]

Batting Average: .426 - Nap Lajoie 1901

[edjr 6,898]

Highest batting average since Ted Williams hit .406

 

Tony Gwynn .394 in 1994

[MTSkiBum 1,626]

Some of these records I could see broken, wilt Chamberlain's record seems the most likely to fall of those listed. Kobe got fairly close.

I suggest you educate yourself on the physical demands of Indy car racing.

[penultimatestraw 473]

If you were competing against other mowers to get it done the fastest, it would be a sport. Got it?

Yard of the month?

sorry.

 

as newbie said. if girls can compete with me, it's not a sport.

 

PBA bowling is more of a sport than NASCAR

Climbing takes a lot of athleticism, but many wouldn't call it a sport. If you do, Alex Honnold's recent free solo of El Capitan is arguably the greatest athletic accomplishment ever, and won't be repeated.

[josh wiley 69]

good place for me to bring up one of my favorite players of all time. doubt anyone ever sniffs rickey Henderson's stolen base record of 1406. man that guy was must see tv.

Clearly you know nothing about racing and it isn't worth arguing with someone that doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.

We got Big Baller Brand entering the league soon

translation: I have no legit argument to your point that women can compete with men, so I'll pretend you don't know enough to argue with me. Bwahahaha.

Go lick your wounds, pussie.

Pete Maravich 3,667 points in college... The great ones don't stay in college long enough...

[Vikings4ever 568]

Not unbreakable, but the MLB would have to fundamentally change for Ricky Henderson's 1400 stolen bases to be threatened. Ichiro is the active leader with 508, and Elvis Andrus's 256 is the highest for anyone under 30.

Ricky Heney was a bad man.

I think this could be broken. a smallish white guy that can shoot the lights out but doesn't have enough overall game to make it in the NBA. Think Jimmer Fredette.

I'm done with you, child. I destroyed you once. You don't get to start over. Try getting back to the thread topic.

Great one. I've argued he is the greatest baseball player of all time; based on he was so much better at what he did (leadoff and disrupt games) than anyone else ever.

Vince Colemen would have broken the record if the cheating royals didn't roll a tarp over his knee

Rickey would be the first one to agree with this.

 

I wouldn't say greatest of all time, but I certainly understand your point.

[Strike 6,023]

A.C. Green - most consscutive games played as a virgin.

What's next, some dude's poker winning streak? Or PacMan?

I think I've told the story here before, but Rickey stole a pair of soccer sandals from my store in Chicago. He's a pr!ck.

He's Rickey Henderson b1tch, he steals what he wants

Taking an ice skate off and trying to stab someone. That record belongs solely to Happy Gilmore

In his defense, he probably didn't realize he was supposed to pay for them.
