Default MLB Unbreakable Records
Has to be the Consecutive Games played record by Cal Ripken Jr. No modern day player will play in that many consecutive games...ever.

How about adding a twist. Most consecutive games played for the same team? Even less likely to happen (as remote as it already is).

Default 56-game Hitting Streak
The way the game is played nowadays, I do not think Joe D's exciting 56-game streak will be broken. Furthermore, I will venture to say that it will not
even be approached.

Another single-season record that may never be broken is one that was achieved the same year Joe did his streak, 1941......Ted Williams batting .406

Most good-hitting ballplayers don't WALK much any more. To hit for a .400 BA you have to do a lot of Walking. In fact Ted had 147 WALKS in 1941.....
which reduced his official AB's to only 456.

Another thing that will make both these hitting records really tough to match/exceed are the difference in fielding gloves. Today's gloves give infielders, and to a degree outfielders much more effective range than they had back then. I've shagged flies many times with an old Mel Ott model glove and know it limits the type/range of catches that can be made. I obviously can't watch full games from the pre-war era, but I suspect there were far fewer clean diving stops, or back handed stab and throws from the hole at short or behind 2nd, or outfielders leaping to rob homeruns at the wall. These things still happened back then, but much less often, and those few hits make all the difference when chasing .400... however if both Brett and Gwynn can hit .390 plus post 1980, I've got to think it can be done again.

Still vote Cy's as most unbreakable though.

Default Unbeatable record
How about a pitcher, Tony Cloninger hitting 2 grand slams in the same game. Tough to beat this one.

No suspense today. Aaron Judge extended his consecutive game with a strikeout streak to 31 today in his first at bat.

And people are comparing him to Mantle...Yea, right.. Even thought he did strike out at times, Mantle had more career walks than strike outs....

Judge's streak continues--three Ks, 0-4, and a dropped fly ball in right. I think we can put the MVP chatter to rest.
