There is a huge bunch of records out there that will "never" be broken. They say that records are made to be broken and I agree, but it's easier said than done.
One record that will surely (and I would bet my soul on this one) never, never, never will be broken is one that was set 50 years ago on May 26, 1959. Harvey Haddix pitched a 12 inning perfect game against the Milwaukee Braves, losing in the 13th inning.
No manager would allow a starting pitcher go 13 innings even with a perfect game being pitched.
In fact, both starting pitchers for this game HH and Lew Burdette pitched complete games...I wonder what pitch count was for both pitchers.

DiMaggios' 56 consecutive game hit streak. Such a streak cannot go beyond two seasons and does not span a career.
The biggest reason it will not be broken is due to all of the media attention in today's society and sports. Any player who has recently neared 35 games is micro analyzed and reported on daily. As that player reaches 45 games, the pressure of the constant questioning will continue to grow even more.
By the time 50 consecutive games in reached, there will be Countdowns in daily newspapers and in the Sports sections of internet websites such as Yahoo and Google.
There are also the variables the player faces on the field every game and during every at bat. In short, the pressures will be too intense and immense for a player to reach 56 games - let alone 57..

Oh, there's a bunch, mainly because gameplay conditions have changed too much to allow serious challenges.
Crawford's 309 career triples.
Wilson's 36 triples in one season.
Young's 749 complete games (which is far "more unbreakable" than his 511 wins).
Ryan's 2795 career walks issued.
Granted Ryan's isn't that old, but it still is unmatchable. No pitcher is going to be given that much license again, and he has a massive lead over the #2 guy (Carlton).
So we turn to more modern records, and here the choice is obvious. Park's two grand slams yielded in one inning. We're not likely ever to see that again. Letting some harried pitcher break the record by serving up three -- No.

Cy Young's 511 wins wont ever be matched, not even be close to for that matter. Starting pitchers dont pitch deep into games like they use too, so the win is takin out of their hands and givin to a less dominant middle innings guy. basically starters are takin the chance by away from themself only throwing 6 or 7 innings, or 8 innings on a great day.
go now
there are many records that will never be broken but i dont think that anyone will come as close to cy youngs 749 CG as they would with any other record. Ichiro made it HALF way to the 56 streak. Randy Johnson won more than half of 511 but his 100CG aren't even close to 749CG.
