I think the only way any of the pitching marks, especially career/single season wins could ever be approached is if a team has a rubber armed knuckleballer and isn't afraid (meaning he's not a bonus baby) to use him on shorter rest than the rest of the staff (Wilbur Wood did this correct?). They'd also probably need to use him out of the bullpen where he'd be able to pick up 4-5 more wins per year.
That said, I still vote Cy's as most unbreakable, and agree Chesbro's 41 /Hoss's 59 (or 60) are unbreakable too. Records like Ripken's streak, Rose's hits (Ichiro may well approach/pass it combining Japan/MLB meaning it is breakable), Dimaggio's 56 are superhuman.. but given another superhuman performance could all be reached/passed within the current style of today's game. 511/41 or 59/110 would all require fundamental changes in the way the game is played and the way players/pitchers are managed, coupled with superhuman. |
