I think someday the career no-hitters record could be broken.

Never. Ever.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Do you guys think any of the "Unbreakable" records will ever fall?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ed_unbreakable

Consecutive no hitters I think might get tied one day.
Triples(most in a career and most in a season) I could see one day being broken as well.
Stolen bases we could possibly see broken one day too.

Career stolen bases? As in, the one where the closest active player is 43 years old and only has 1/3 of the amount?

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Doesn't mean these records will be broken within the next decade or two, but it's stuff that somewhere down the road it could.

C'mon man, the way the game is trending stolen base numbers will go up compared to the PED era and immediately afterwards but there's no way we're going to see the kind of base stealing of the '70s and '80s because there's such a premium on being on base and not risking "bad outs".

Yea there's 0 chance that you see Ricky's record get broken. SB don't happen like they used to use in the days of Ricky and Vince Coleman with guys stealing 100 bags per year. The league leader this year was Rajai Davis with 43. The next closest was Trout with 30. And looking at the active leader after Ichiro who's probably going to retire next year if he hasn't already. It's Jose Reyes. He would need to play another 19 years and that's stealing 49 bags per year, his career average. He's 33. And hasn't stolen more than 40 bags since 2012. And hasn't stolen more than 45 since 2008.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

The Pete Rose hit one might look unbeatable, but Ichiro probably would have beaten it had he been American and played all his career in the majors. I know people argue that it's easier to get hits in Japan, but you play less games as well and Ichiro had no trouble getting a gazillion hits of major league pitchers, he had more hit each year in the majors than in Japan. I genuinely think he'd have beaten that record if he'd had the chance, or at least got very close, so if someone else comes along like him and breaks into the majors early enough, it is achievable

I agree with your overall point, but hasn't Hamilton been stealing 55 bases a year? Still that'll never get him near Ricky, but it's a lot more than the 30 or so you expect from people like Trout. Not unless baseball goes into another ridiculous steal competition and people start going for it every time they get to first will anyone get near Ricky. He stole over 60 bases when he was about 40, that ain't happening again! (not to mention stealing 130 bases and getting caught 42 times in one year)

Jonathan Villar lead the league with 62 SBs... You must be talking AL only.

Yep. Damn, BBallref. They have AL stats listed first, I thought it was MLB.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Can you imagine if this is what the final percentages end up being like. Specifically for Vlad. Sure, he knows he'll be in next year, but if voting ends up that way, must suck realizing you were literally 1 person away from getting in. Even worse knowing certain people never even submitted ballots.

Gosh, I was checking everyday for the announcement but it's not for another week.

Do unsubmitted ballots go against the players?
