Got another record that won't be beaten - Rickey Henderson's 1406 stolen bases or his 335 times caught stealing.

Teams don't run like that anymore and if someone gets thrown out actually trying to steal, they might not get the green light to run again for a week or more.

You guys aren't putting enough effort into this.

The one baseball record that will never, ever be broken is Pop Snyder's record of 763 passed balls. Snyder played 930 games over 18 years (1873 to 1891), which means that he averaged 42.4 passed balls per season, and one passed ball every 1.2 games.

By way of comparison, the active leaders in passed balls are Yadier Molina (84 in 16 seasons, 5.25 per season) and Russell Martin (84 in 14 seasons, 6 per season).

Congrats to Pop Snyder for your enduring achievement - you will always be a legend!

Poor Pop. :lol:

In his defense he was using something like this:

I stand by my no hitter record.

Johnny VanDeMeer threw back to back no hitters.

Someone has to throw THREE CONSECUTIVE NO HITTERS to break that record.

Good fucking luck.

What are the chances of a pitcher facing the Reds 3 starts in a row? Because my money is on that fucking guy to do it.

Crazy thing about Ryan's record is that it should be a hell of a lot more than 5,714 strike outs. He lost how many starts in 1981 due to the strike?

I remember there was a time Ryan and Steve Carlton were neck and neck for the most strike outs all time. I was a pretty big Phillies guy in those days, so somewhere in the 1980 - 1985 time frame. I think maybe 1982 or 84. I actually had a flip counter for each guy. I'd check the stats in the paper after each start and update the counter. I wanted Carlton to be the all time guy, but I later came to really be a huge fan of Ryan. So, I was happy with "Lefty" being the all time leader for lefties.

Those early 80s Phillies teams..... Awesome. Rose, Morgan, Carlton, Tug McGraw, Schmidt.. Not the 1977 NY Yankees, maybe, but... damn were they strong

4. Nolan Ryan's strikeout record: Although I said above that managers like to yank starters earlier, I think that a stud strikeout pitcher will get the benefit of the doubt and be left in a little longer. Plus, getting that extra inning or two rest every start could end up lengthening his career and actually improve his strikeouts-per-inning ratio because he can throw harder each game since he's not in quite as long.

Gary Sanchez may get the passed ball record

Extremely long odds but not impossible. 511 wins and 749 complete games will never, ever be approached much less broken.

The modern day record for wins is Greg Maddox with 355. It took him 23 years.

Gaylord Perry had 303 complete games. The 38 guys who had more finished their careers by 1965 or earlier.
