    Most consecutive games started. With contracts the way they are, one of the most important keys is keeping your guys healthy. If that means sitting out a few from a bad bruise, so be it.

    Johnny vander Meer pitched two no-hitters in a row. To break that, a pitcher would have to throw 3 in a row. Pitchers can't even complete three games in a row, let alone pitch 3 no hitters.

    Obviously, no one's winning 511 games. Or losing 313, for that matter, another Cy Young record. Or 7,354 innings pitched, yet another Young record (active leader Tom Glavin 4,413).

    Walter Johnson 110 career shutouts. (Active leader Randy Johnson 37, no other active player is even at 30 yet)

    Ripken's consecutive game record will be broken. Gehrig's record was supposed to be unbreakable, but Ripken shattered it. It might be 50 or 60 years before it's broken, but it will be eventually. You heard it here first.

    I'll bet no one's breaking Mickey Mantle's World Series record of 18 home runs any time soon.

    Dimmagios 56 game hitting streak, or Cy Youngs 511 wins, but most proably, most wins by a pitcher in a single season Some pitchers have 40 or even 50 in a season.

    There are a number of records that won't be touched but Cy Young's 511 wins is the most untouchable.

    Rickey Henderson's all time SB record (1406)

    Closest 3 active players to him are Juan Pierre (430), Omar Vizquel (385), and Johnny Damon (365).

    You would like to think that players with such speed as Carl Crawford, or Jose Reyes might reach close one day, they still have soooooo far to go to reach it.

    Pete Rose's 4200+ hits. Only one active player has at least a 1% chance of breaking that record. It's Derek Jeter with 1%.

  • Wins - 41 - Jack Chesbro, it's almost impossible for pitchers to reach 20 wins these days. There's no way anyone comes close to 41.

    Cy Young's 511 wins. Or gotta go with Ty Cobbs .367 batting average.

  • Nolan Ryan's no hitters. It's diffacult to get out of a few innings without a hit, let alone an entire game.

    Orel herisher's record and an season avg of .400
