Agreed .......

Tiger is still setting them.

:eek: When did that happen ?

Yeah, that one seems monumentally unreachable. I thought about that one as well.

It's funny that most of the records that popped into my head were baseball related.

The non-baseball related record that occurred to me was the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

Larry Johnson's TD record.

Some, yes, but to do what Byron Nelson done ? No way.

Nelson would have been the greatest ever to play had he not retired after the 46 season at the age of 34. He wanted his ranch more than golf..........

If it wasn't for stats baseball as a major sport would have died a long time ago, IMO.

100 yeaars ago or so. GT 212 - Cumberland 0

UCLA's 88 consecutive basketball victories. No matter how good a squad a coach could put together today, the players wouldn't be in school long enough for that kind of streak.

I think Ty Cobb's lifetime average of .366 is pretty safe.

True ......... Plus the 10 consecutive cheating National Championships fits right up there as well.

I would say that is probally pretty safe as well Tim, but it could fall one day. What are the requirements ? # of at bats to qualify for a lifetime average.........

Jim Brown's Lifetime Yards Per Carry- 5.5

Cy Young- 511 Career Wins

From www.baseball-reference.com:

Minimum of 1000 IP, 3000 PA and 100 decisions for career and active leaderboards for rate statistics.

The only person within 30 points of him in the modern era is Gwynn.

Cy Young was already mentioned, it's a safe one.........

Jime Browns average....... safe for now, probally won't ever be broke, but it is possible that somebody could fall right along the minimum required carries to qualify one day.
