Or Will White's 75 complete games, his 680 innings pitched, or his 2,906 batters faced.

60 wins, although watch dickbag Jeurys Familia somehow becomes a statistical anomaly and get 60 wins...and 60 blown holds/saves, all in one season.

The old pitching records might as well be from another sport. I don’t even really consider them as part of the modern game. So if the two remaining choices, no one will ever break Cal Ripken’s record. I can see someone breaking DiMaggio’s record, it doesn’t seem that impossible.

Denny McLain's (1968) and Lefty Grove's 31 wins, Bob Feller's 36 complete games (1946), Wilbur Wood's 376 2/3 innings pitched (1972)

Cy Young has 511 wins.
Someone will break Joe D's record before anyone gets near Cy Young.

No way. |

60 wins isn't even plausibly available anymore. Not unless it's a long reliever who happens to inherit the proper score every f'n time he enters.
Even that would be virtually impossible. If such a pitcher had even accumulated 30 wins, which will never happen, the team would most assuredly be a winning one without even remote desire to add innings for such a stud innings eater.
I need to lie down now.

Of breakable records, I'd go with DiMaggio. I remember people saying no one would break Gehrig's streak. The 19th century pitching records are unassailable. But the streak. 56 games is a long time. 20 games gets noticed. 30 is an event. after 35, its a major event. At 40, it's a circus that doubles every day. from 40 to 44 and Rose and Anson. Pete Rose was front page news in 1978. Get 45 and you have nearly two weeks more to go. Joe D. and even Rose didn't have to deal with MLB Network, ESPN, all the other sports outlets, and the internet. The pressure would be unbearable. The pressure got to DiMaggio, his hair was falling out, he was smoking 7 packs of cigarettes a day. It would take a special player to do it. One that could deal with the pressure. Rose could. I always thought Ichiro could have made a run. Another thing, Joe went on a 16 game streak after the 56 was broke. Imagine a 63 game hitting streak
THE unbreakable record. Jim Devlin pitched 100% of his teams innings for the 1877 Louisville Grays. A one man pitching staff, poppycock. You have a better chance for a pitcher winning 80 games in a year

There hasn't been a pitcher with more that 36 starts in a season since 1989. You would have to be perfect. A junkballer on a fearsome offensive team might but there's no wiggle room. Hell, 20 wins is rare now

I think the only way to handle even getting past 40 consecutive games would be someone who'd already reached that number at least once already. They'd already know the noise involved & have by far a greater advantage.

Cal . . .....then Barry Bonds 73 homers. I'd put the 73 HR's in a class with the 19th century pitching records. Unless steroids are made legal by baseball, that one is out of reach. It's a shame too. The single season hR record was the most talked about entry in the record book. 60-61 appeared to be the limit. Now it been ruined. When Giancarlo Stanton hit 59 in 2017, that should have been an event. "Can he get to 60? 61? 62?". No one gave a shit because we damn well wasn't going to get to 74.
For that reason, if no other, Barry Bonds should NEVER get into the Hall. He pissed on baseball for his own selfish gain, Just like the Black Sox

To successfully beat the odds for 56 consecutive games is very hard to do and no one else has reached 45 games and no one has reached over 40 games since Pete Rose. I though Ichiro could make a run at it too, but he didn't.

The same way that Brady and Belichick pissed on football with their repeated cheating for their own selfish gain.
