Top 10 Unbreakable Baseball Records

The Top Ten
1 Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2,632 consecutive games
2 Cy Young's 511 career wins
3 Nolan Ryan's 5,714 career strikeouts
4 Hack Wilson's 191 RBIs (1930)

RBIs for a hitter are like Wins for a pitcher, both are poor measures of effectiveness. Both are dependent on the effectiveness of teammates. Nowadays the only way for a player to reach 191 RBIs would be for all his teammates to be feeble at driving runners home, and leave each other standing on bases out there just waiting for that one particular player to bat them in.

5 Rickey Henderson's 130 stolen bases (1982)
6 Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak (1941)
7 Pete Rose's 4,256 career hits
8 Ty Cobb's .366 career batting average
9 Hank Aaron's 25 All Star Game appearances
10 Carl Yastrzemski and Brooks Robinson's 23 seasons with one team

Now with free agency, that feat is almost Impossible

The Contenders
11 Orel Hershiser's 59 consecutive innings (1988)
12 Rod Carew stealing home seven times in one season

That's the record since Ty Cobb and Pete Reiser in the ancient days
