...on today's daily Moment! Only needing a hit! It should have been at least required hitting a dong! I think the Moment should have been 3 dongs in 3 games as Cal hit a dong in game 2129, hit a dong in game 2130, and hit a dong in game 2131!
I will definitely not see 2632 broken in my lifetime since it will take 17 full 162-game seasons to overcome that record.
And the way organizations treat and train their players today, they made sure it will never be broken again.
You are correct sir! There are numerous records that will never be broken. Ripken, consecutive games played. DiMaggio hitting streak. Ryan 5700 strikeouts. Rose/Ichiro (however you look at it) all time hits. I’m 99% sure no one will ever hit .400 again and I’m 100% sure no one will win 300 games again. Nobody will sniff Bonds walks record….both single season and career.
Very true! However, with all that said, the hardest one to break is going to be Ripkens. The man is God like to go that long without missing one game and staying healthy the entire time.
Well, except for the times when he could barely walk, but still came up to "bat" once before being immediately replaced. Listen, the guy was a great player, but he didn't get to 2632 without some serious roster manipulation from the Orioles' coaching staff.
This is complete bull. He averaged 684 PA between 82 and 98, placing in the top 10 of the league 12 times. From June 5, 1982 to September 14, 1987, he played 8,264 consecutive innings.

It is complete BS. Let’s see if he chirps back.

Unless there's a catastrophic shift in the way the game is played this is correct. Nobody can stay healthy to play every game anymore, at least not many. Players strike out ALOT!!! so a batting average over .300 means you're in a small percentile. Even the Nolan Ryan strikeout record, there are so many pitchers who can get to the 6th inning and that's it. What kills me about this is players nowadays are supposedly superior athletes but they can't seem to handle the same rigors that the players of the past could.

You don't have to take my word for it. You can see his game logs on baseball reference for all the times he was pulled early. The streak would have ended on August 7, 1989 if the Orioles hadn't manipulated it. You can look it up.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. That's ridiculous. You got me. You found 1 occasion in 2632 games. Besides, you have absolutely no context for why he was replaced in the game.

Also records that will never be broken:
Henderson's 130 stolen bases in a career as well as his lifetime total because it's now a big deal when someone steals 30 in a season.
I used to love watching him and Vince Coleman in the 80s. Those 2 were on another level stealing bases. Now 30 steals is elite. Game has changed a lot for sure
Not that I like to brag, but I was in Busch Stadium when Lou Brock set the records that Henderson eventually broke. I was fairly young at the time but i was there.

I think it was funny that he actually went through 2632 game logs just o find one game Cal came out early!

So now you've backpedaled from "complete bs" to "it only happened once" when I give you one example. What's next? "Well, it only happened 5 times". And I do have context, because I watched the games (and was at the August 7 game).
Look, Cal was a great player, he was incredibly durable and he definitely deserves his "Iron Man" moniker. But, he had help from management to maintain the Streak. You can't simply ignore history that you find inconvenient.

If anyone is backpedaling, it's you. You implied that there were all these incidents of "roster manipulation" and Ripken coming in for one AB to preserve the streak because he could barely walk. You came up with one example.
Oh and I'm sure you were at the game. Yeah, that's the ticket. The random August game from 33 years ago that you remember so well. You sound foolish. Just take the L dude.
