Cy Young is the most unbreakable, I think.

rsvman2 Five years, a shot clock, and the three-point shot. Not even close to Pistol Pete.

.... And I'm pretty sure Pistol Pete only played 3 years -- as freshmen weren't eligible to play varsity back then.

        propman correct and he shot over 44% and had 28 games with 50 pts or more

        The crazy thing is, Pete took more shots in 3 years then the Detroit kid did in 5 and 60 extra games. There's a few who guys could have approached Pete's record if their daddy's coached the team and they could shoot at will. Pete was the perfect storm. Great talent and Daddy giving him the green light.

            garyt1957 would imagine the sec had some stuff competition even back then. Also, have to assume pistol may have been double teamed a few times

                Actually, other than Kentucky it was pretty weak. No doubt Pete was an all time great but would you sign to play for a school where you knew a guy was going to shoot 40 times a game? That alone probably kept LSU from getting good talent and why Pete never won a thing in college, or the pros for that matter.

                    I'd say Cal Ripken's streak of 2,632 consecutive games started will never be touched. Currently, players take a day off if their 401K takes a hit & most players are not involved in that many games over 16 seasons. Heck, it's tough to have a 16 year career.

                    Pete's Dad and Tiger's Dad have some distinct similarities. Both lived vicariously through their sons and really pushed them to greatness. Both Pete and tiger had some hidden secrets and drug use and maybe weren't as happy as they could have been had they led a normal life.

                    UnholyDefenestrator78 Cal Ripkens consecutive game streak is untouchable. Though the other records seem very unlikely, anything can happen in a season. With all of the rest days, you may never have a baseball player hit 230 in a row, let alone 2,300
                    **Sorry, I did t see that bogeypro posted essentially the same thing.

                      Just read that UD Mercy was denied entry into the CBI tournament so Pete's record is safe.
                      I don't mind if some guy breaks it while playing 4 years, but 5 is too much

                      Ricky Carmichael--- 150 wins in Supercross and Motocross. The next closest has 98 wins. Will never be matched.

                        More Cy Young -- 749 complete games.

                        R.D. Smith.....pitched a no-hitter in every league baseball game he pitched. Lifetime!!

                        And lost every game. 😲

                          Will White- 680 innings pitched in a season- pre 1920

                          Wilbur Wood- 346 2/3 innings pitched in a season- post 1920

                            LBlack14 Wilbur Wood- 346 2/3 innings pitched in a season- post 1920

                            Pitched both games of a double header a couple times, I believe. 346 innings is two seasons of work for most starters nowadays.
