Working on our athletic record boards have allowed us to see several records that seem like they will never be broken. Whether it is a track time or a baseball stat, eventually it seems like we come across a record that was better than the last. In the spirit of this, we would like to offer you our favorite records that we believe will never be broken.
Johnny Vander Meer: Back-to-back No-hit Games
This is one of our favorite records that will never be broken. This baseball record is outstanding in itself, but consider this: you would have to pitch three back-to-back games to break this record. That makes this double no-hitter virtually untouchable.
Wilt Chamberlain: 100-point Game
Few basketball players dominated the league quite like Wilt Chamberlain. The closest that anyone has come to breaking this record was Kobe Bryant with 81 points. This record will go down in history as one of the greatest performances in NBA history.
John Wooden: 88-game Winning Streak with UCLA
The dominance of UCLA from 1971 to 1974 will never again be touched in NCAA men’s basketball. With fierce recruiting and one-year-and-done players rotating in college basketball, this record will last through the ages.
Jerry Rice: 22,895 Receiving Yards
Jerry Rice will always be regarded as the greatest receiver in NFL history. The next closest is receiver Terrell Owens with 15,934 yards. Even in a pass-happy professional football league with rules that seem to help receivers, this record may never be knocked off the record board.
Boston Celtics: Eight Consecutive NBA Championships
The Boston Celtics put together one of the greatest teams to ever play in the NBA. With Hall of Famers like Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Larry Bird and legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach, this record will be tough to beat.
There are many more accomplishments that seem impossible to knock off the athletic record boards. These are a few of our favorites. You can let us know which records you think will stand the test of time at www.facebook.com/TeamFitzGraphics.
