These may be the toughest records to break (if ever).
- Thread starter Tractorman
- Start date
511 won't be reached again unless there is a dramatic change in the way baseball is played. Pitchers don't pitch enough with 5 man rotations and pitch count limits to get to 511 anymore.
It used to be that if you started a game, you finished it, and you wouldn't be held to pitching on certain rest every time. He had 749 complete games in 815 starts.
For that matter, his 316 losses is a record that will probably never be broken either.

Let's take the latest phenom thateveryone is talking about,Stephen Strasburg. If the guy wins 10 games this year, then 20 games EVERY year of his career, hewould finish his career with 510 wins (1 short of the record) if he pitched until the age of 47. Think aboutthat. He would have to win 20 games every year until the age of 47, and he still would fall short of the record.RebelBruiser said:
like I said, unless the philosophy of pitching changes and starts going back the other direction again at some point.
Other untouchable pitching records:
Most wins in a season: 60, Charles Radbourn in 1884 (Most pitchers start just over half that many games in a full season now if they don't miss a start)
You can go on with the most losses, most strikeouts, most complete games (75 in a season), most innings pitched, for career, season, etc. because the pitching philosophy prevents those records from ever being broken, unless you start separating records by eras.
What's really amazing though is that Nolan Ryan holds the most strikeouts records for all time despite pitching in the modern era.

That's the number of times coach34 and his merry band of morons have beat off thinking and postingabout Stansbury failing and getting fired.

Avatar didn't even crack the top 10. Star Wars came close about 33 years ago, but ain't nothin ever gonna beat that movie.

cy young pitched in an era that is long gone... evolution of the game will take care of his stats... there is no way the game would digress to where anyone could ever win those many games.. but players still get to bat 4 times a game...
take a look at babe ruth's career for a moment.. look at the rest of the field in the big leagues in home runs compared to the rest of the field... nobody every left the rest of the league in the dust like ruth did.... he would hit 50 and 2nd place would be 35 or less...3rd place would hit like 20.. . like clock work year after year after year...
chew on his all time slugging avg... 2nd place is Ted Williams...56 points less...
consider one year when 1 out of every 6 home runs in the AL was owned by ruth...
how bout leading the league in walks 7 times in an 8 year stretch while having lou gerigh hitting behind you every time.? that alone shows he put more fear into a pitcher than anyone who ever stepped into a batter's box....
nobody will EVER come close to touching the ALL TIME SULTAN of SWAT... even though they still get 4 times at the plate on avg per game.. nobody will EVER dominate the competition better than Ruth...
Aaron, McGuire, Sosa, steroid dude that played in Pitt who owns the record are nothing but sweat particles dangling from ruth's nutt sack...

His 60 HR season, and his career in general are more impressive to me than any hitter in history, even with steroids included.
In 1924, he hit 46 HRs, second was 27 HRs.
In 1926, he hit 47 HRs. Second place was 21 HRs.
In 1928, he hit 54, second was 31
1921 was the biggest disparity though. He hit 59 HRs that year. Second place was 21 HRs. Of course when he hit 60 in 1927, Gehrig had 47 behind him.
There were other years in there where he didn't lead the majors and some where it was close, but those are some big disparities.
Still, we're talking about records though that won't be broken. Ruth's domination was epic, and no one will dominate the game like he did, but some of his records fell with the steroid era, and the increase of the season to 162 games. Because of the evolution of the game, the pitching records held by the 1800s and early 1900s pitchers won't be touched by any modern day pitcher, ever, unless the game evolves back the other way again at some point in the future.

I've seen 36 of those movies....I can't believe House of Wax is on there. I've never seen it nor heard anyone talk about it. Another shocker was to see Finding Nemo on that list at #65.Sutterkane woya said:
