Question Which modern day MLB record will never be broken?

Looking for any single season, career, or streak type record which will never be broken. Setting an arbitrary cut off from 1950 to the present. Interested to see how many different ones the mall can come up with as some of the more obscure ones are interesting.


Single season ex: Bonds 73 HRs
Career ex: Rose 4256 hits
Streak ex: Ripken 2632 consecutive games


My top choice at this time would be Rickey Henderson's career stolen base record of 1406. Simply cant see anyone stealing 80 bases a year for 15 years to break this record.

Yes, JR...was thinking about individual records and not team records.

Typo in my math, was originally thinking 100 steals a year over 14+ years and changed to 80 per year. Would take 17.5+ years at 80 per year. Sick stat many dont appreciate.

I know it was done before 1950 but should never be broken.

Ripken's consecutive games. I know they said the same about Gehrigs, but I just don't think players in this day in sports will want to play every game for 15 years straight. Players are more concerned with rest/recovery, ect.

Will throw out this obscure record. know about it because is was set by a Pittsburgh Pirate back when I attended alot of games. Doubt this record will ever be broken.

Most base hits in a 9 inning game, no extra innings allowed.


Rennie Stennett went 7-7 in 1975 when the Bucs routed the Cubs 22-0.
