Unbreakable?
What's the most unbreakable record in professional sports?
1. DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak? 2. Chamberlain's 100 single game points? 3. Jim Brown's 8 straight NFL rushing titles? 4. Cy Young's 511 career wins? 5. Cal Ripken's consecutive games played? One not named here? ...discuss. |

The Cy Young record is pretty damn safe.
Only one other pitcher ever even got to 400.

I'd say that Cal Ripken's and Jim Brown's records are probably safe too. There's too much movement in the NFL anymore for one player to dominate like that. If he dominated a division for two years other teams that played them twice a year would figure out how to stop him. Next, with Cal's record It's almost impossible to not get hurt to where you can't play and then when you factor in strategic management it becomes even more unreachable.

Cy's record is posting 20 win seasons for 25 consecutive years...and then getting 11 more to tie. I don't think that gets touched due to the emergence of the bullpen, pitching rotations, and health concerns.

His would be the one to fall first when put up against those others. Hell, Fitzgerald broke Rice's playoff receiving records last year. He keeps on like he should, he might reach Rice's regular season stats.

he could, but nobody has stood the test of time like Rice. We'll see though, fitz and Moss definately have a solid chance though.

As good as Fitz is... He's still 16,000+ yards and 1,100 more receptions away.

I think the closest active player is Marvin Harrison. And he's 36.

Not sure, but I think you're thinking of Jamie Moyer's 250 wins.
