Records that may never be broken

Johnny Vander Meer. Who is that you ask? Well, he holds a record that for all intents and purposes, may never broken. In the Major Leagues that is. You see, in 1938, Johnny threw a no-hitter against the Boston Braves, then 4 days later, he threw another no-hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is the only major leaguer to throw consecutive no-hitters.

Why do I bring this up? Well, there is a high school player here in the Tampa area that just threw his fourth straight no-hitter. His name is Patrick Schuster and he plays for Mitchell High School. Of course, in high school, there are often inflated batting averages, miniscule ERA's, crazy strike out totals, etc. However, 4 no-hitters in a row must be a national record, right? No so fast, the national prep record is 6 no-hitters in a row. Mitchell will be going for the record as the district playoffs start soon. Good luck to him.

What do you think about other records that may never be broken? Here's a quick list I came up with:

1. Ty Cobb's career batting average of .367
2. UCLA winning 7 consecutive NCAA men's basketball titles
3. New York Yankees total of 26 World Series titles
4. Wilt Chamberlain's total of 100 points in one NBA game
5. Byron Nelson's 11 straight wins in PGA tournaments
   

Can you think of any more?

Until next time,
