    Let's assume our average age is 30 and that we will live, on average to 90. What records might stand during that period?

    Baseball: 56 consecutive game hitting streak? Total career wins for a pitcher? Most wins in a season?

    College FB? Consecutive game win streak?

    College Basketball? Consecutive game win streak? UCLA men? U Conn women?

    Pro Basketball? Most wins in a season?

    Other sports you may follow?

    Ty Cobb....... .367 lifetime batting average. Not a chance thats ever broken

    Georgia Peach ... Royston Ga

    My ALL TIME favorite player!! Used to sharpen his spikes before each game. We'll never see a guy remotely like that again. Closest to him would be Pete Rose "Charlie Hustle" imo.

    WCDawg's average number of posts per day. Untouchable

    That's because you lazy bastuds won't put in the work.

    Most of the records mentioned can be broken, just a few are out of reach because the sport they played has changed making duplicating their feat truly near impossible. Using that line of thinking, Cy Young's 517 career wins will almost certainly never be approached.

    That is an amazing stat. I loved Tommy Lee Jones line in the Cobb movie when a reporter asked what did he think he could hit "today" - the today in the movie. He responded something like ".270". The guy says "only .270?" and Cobb says something like "well I am 75 years old".

    Florida QB, John Reaves*, threw nine interceptions in one game against the barners in 1969. That'll be tough to beat.

    *held NCAA record for passing yards in a career with 7,581 (compare that with Case Keenum's 19,217- Reaves isn't even in the top 250 today- B.J. Symons had nearly 6,000 in one season)
    *first round pick in 1972 draft
    *played eleven years in the NFL, three years in the USFL
    *Reaves's daughter, Layla, married Lane Kiffin

    Who was the chick that dominated swimming in the Olympics? She was on another level.

    Nolan Ryan’s 5714 career strikeouts. No one else comes close.

    Yep. Second place on the list is this guy you might have heard of, Randy Johnson, and he is barely within 1,000! That’s insane!!

    Johnson recorded 4,875 Strikeouts and one dead bird,

    I doubt anyone will record 4,876 K’s and two dead birds.
