Records

Agreed on the rbi record. Even without Whiten's performance I would assume there have been plenty of 11 and 10 RBI games. Wilt's 100 point performance has to be the biggest single game record.

Hard to imagine Ripken's streak is not in the top 10. Or Wilt averaging 50 points per game for an entire season.

Or Wilt's averaging of 48.5 minutes per game ('61-62 season).

This may be mythology that I've filed away as fact but...

Wilt never fouling out of a contest, in his career.

I actually wouldn't be too shocked to see something like that. With all the no hitters we see, there is usually a couple times a season a pitcher will have a shot at it. I doubt anyone will ever catch Ryan for most in a career though.
