What is the most unbreakable record in Baseball? 

Lou Gehrig's 213-game streak was supposedly unbreakable in baseball. Then Cal Ripken Jr. appeared. Some individuals attempted to minimize the streak by claiming that it was simply him going to work every day.

Many disagree; playing 2,632 straight games of baseball is absurdly taxing on the body, particularly an elderly one. There won't be anyone who can match Gehrig or Ripken's records because Miguel Tejada's 1,152-game streak ended in 2007.

Cobb's record will be difficult to break because it would necessitate a player hitting .367 for at least 5 seasons and 3,000 plate appearances. Albert Pujols and Ichiro are both career .332 hitters at ages 28 and 34, respectively, to put Cobb's stats into context.

Current leader Todd Helton has a lifetime batting average of .337, which is 0.30 points lower than Cobb's. Perhaps a young athlete will enter the major leagues one day and play for only 5–6 seasons while hitting 367. It is extremely unlikely.

Baseball is enriched with many unbreakable records

It would take a player a very long time to accumulate 5,714 strikeouts, with the average number of innings pitched by pitchers now being only 6-7. The next two pitchers on the list are Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens, but neither has over 1,000 strikeouts yet. It's unlikely either of them will throw five more seasons with a salary of $200,000.

Jimmy Rollins came close when he reached base safely in 38 consecutive games from 2005 to 2006. There have only ever been 43 players to record 30 or more straight games with a hit.

Given how tough it is to hit a baseball, the hitting streak involves a lot of skill, but also a lot of chance. For a ball to fall in or pass through, all the conditions must be met: It's not easy to get a hittable pitch and hit it where you shouldn't for 56 games.

As a result, a slugger must have a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .547 on-base percentage. Barry Bonds is the most recent player to reach base nearly 50% of the time during a season. He had a powerful swing and an OPS of 1.378, which was still more than 100 points below Ruth's. Pujols and A-Rod could have come close, but this record is unbreakable.
