The way the game is played nowadays, I do not see it ever being tied or surpassed.

Johnny Vander Meer's back-to-back No Hitters in 1938. To break that record, someone needs to throw 3 No Hitters. Talk about an-assailable!!

I am less bothered by the steroid era than some. It's just the way it was at that time. It was different before and it is different after. I completely understand if you wish to be outraged.

Here's one thing to ponder. After DiMaggio's 56 game streak was stopped by two great plays by Kenny Kelter, we rattled off another streak of 35 game or so. Let's say his hit streak would have been extended to 92. I would propose that had that happened we might see hit streaks in the mid-60s on a fairly regular basis.

As far as unbreakable records, I'll take 110 shutouts.

I know things were different then, but if we're talking about Cy Young's 511 wins as untouchable, then Ol' Hoss Radbourn's 1884 season makes Cy's total look mundane.

A 59-12 record, 678 innings and 441 strikeouts - even for that era those numbers are insane!

For Facebook users, someone posts as Ol' Hoss, commenting on sports of today. Some of the posts are hysterical.

not every player used steroids in that era look at griffey jr and jeter and they are some of the greatest ever.

Wonder what his pitch count limit was?

any player who used and admitted he used steroids should not be aloud into the hof and acoplishments should not registered through that time they used.

Any member who spells "allowed" "aloud" should not be permitted to post. LOL

lmao!

I think Nolan Ryan's career strikouts will never be touched. The closest active player is Jamie Moyer (that's saying alot considering he is 50) and he isn't even halfway there. Pitchers just don't have that much longevity anymore.

Then how am I supposed to modulate?

As far as Arod.....not a fan.

Cy Young's win record is the safest imo.......though 110 shutouts is right there too for the Big Train....
