We have it beat into our heads growing up here. The record belongs to Roger. Even have billboards along interstate to remind those passing through our fine state.

Yep, I've seen the billboards around town. That's Maris' record in every meaningful way.

I'd like to see Paterno's 409 coaching wins record broken, but hard to envision it happening in my lifetime.

Coach Kelly will nail it, on his current pace, he only needs to coach another 35 years.

He'll then peacefully walk away from the game at the tender age of 89.

No ball player has ever hit 5 home runs in a MLB game. 17 players have hit 4.
This will probably never be surpassed. Hard to come up with another record that so many people hold yet might be insurmountable.

I'd love to see an undefeated NFL team just to shut up those 1972 Dolphins. Those guys really get on my nerves.

Good call----how about Nolan Ryan 's 383 'k's in a dh American league. If he had that season in the national league you could add at least 60-80 more 'k's to pitchers hitting against him. Never be broken even the way it is.

Can't imagine having two guys on the same team hitting 121 combined HR in one year.

They touch on those topics in the *61 movie. Would certainly recommend it if you haven't watched it. Ruth had fewer teams(presumably less diluted pitching talent) to go against, but never had to play night games(i think they say that?) or go on West Coast trips.

Roger is basically God up here.

Unfortunately Roger took a lot of heat in 61 because Mick was considered the Golden Boy who came up through the Yankee system. Roger came to the Yankees in 1960 via a trade and wasn't considered a real Yankee yet. Yankee fans didn't want Babe's record broken, but if it was going to be broken they wanted Mantle to do it.


Does anyone break Jerry Rice's records? Most receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and all purpose yards.

Even with the amount of passing in the NFL today, it would be hard.

It will have to be the perfect storm. Not knocking Rice and what he accomplished, but he did have the experience of playing with a couple of outstanding QB's which had to help.

Marvin Harrison's single season catch record might be the first receiving record to be broken.

Byron Nelsons record of 11 PGA titles in a row will never be broken. I couldn't how great a run someone would have to get on to even get close. I would love to see someone do it but it will never happen.

Don't think that will be touched. I'm not a golf fan by any stretch of the imagination and never watch it, but can appreciate what Nelson did. Bobby Jones is to me the greatest golfer of all time. He was an amateur that only played about 7-8 years and didn't play regularly. He was an attorney by profession, yet won the "true" Grand Slam winning all four in a single season. He played in 31 majors during those years and won 13 and finished in the top ten 27 times. Will someone else ever win the "true" Grand Slam?

As soon as I saw JBJ hitting lead off I knew the hitting streak was ending. Have no idea why Farrell did that. Keep him where he is in the order, dang it.

No, no, hell no...have fun with Rexxy Ruxpin.

Me and Dan Marino don't like those guys...bad memories.

I know. Last years team and this up coming team have more talent than any bills team from the past decade and it will be used extremely poorly. He just cant close his trap either. Very annoying.
