There's a bunch but here's mine.

Fernando Tatis hit TWO grand slams in the SAME INNING off the SAME PITCHER!

What's yours?

I agree. In this day and age so many managers are giving players days off I can't see anyone accomplishing that.

My point is I've been here too long, and it's beginning to feel like dinner at my in-laws.

Cy Young's 511 wins is the safest record in baseball.

What about Jack Taylor's mark of 187 consecutive complete games? From June 20, 1901 to August 9, 1906 he never came out of a game, and his 1.33 earned run average in 1902 led the NL.

Have to agree. Pitchers make at best 33-34 starts a season. If you won every start for 15 years you STILL wouldn't break the record.

You cannot mention 511 wins without also mentioning 316 losses. Neither of those totals will ever be reached again.

That's not even HIS OWN most untouchable record. Try his 749 complete games.

Here's another I think is safer: 75 complete games in a single season. Will White 1879.

I read the title and this was the first feat that came to mind before I clicked on the thread.

I'll make sure to thoroughly, completely and carefully research every single solitary thread, comment, thought and statement I will make from this point forward.

I'll also give you a heads up before I post any and all threads with the words "leaf", "Brian", "Gray" and "bg" in it because of your "love" them

316 losses is certainly possible.
Nolan Ryan had 292 losses, only 24 less than Cy Young. But no one is coming close to 511 wins.

Doesn't matter anyway. That pitcher wouldn't be unanimous HOF.

Rickey's 130 steals in a season and 1406 for career. Ryan's 7 No-No's. Van der Meer's consecutive No-No's. Cy's wins/losses/complete games. Shutouts (can't remember pitcher). Wins in a season 57? or maybe that was complete games? Tons of old pitching records are untouchable. Pitchers pitch was too much before the bigs now days. Back then they didn't pitch from 9 years old thru every single level and thru the minors for a few years. Feller came right out of high school and I'm sure the others did too. Guys are lucky to pitch as long as they do considering the mileage their arms have on them.

The best things I ever heard about the impossibility of beating this record came when Andy Pettitte retired. Someone mentioned that Andy would have to come back and have his career all over again just to come within 20 wins of the record.

Or an even more topical example - Greg Maddux ( widely considered to be he best pitcher of the modern era) would have to come back and pitch 7 more 20 win seasons just to get within one more season of tying the record.

Absolutely mind-blowing how safe that record is...
