MoJoTo Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Also, I'd like to see somebody break Wilt Chamberlain's record for Average Minutes Per Game in a Season.An NBA game is 48 minutes. Wilt's record for Average Minutes Per Game is 48.5 set in the 1962 season. Do you know what that means?Who's going to play every minute of every game in an NBA season - plus overtime?

CaolinaJoe Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 CricketBrian Lara, of the West Indies,who had a 13 HOUR inning and scored over 400 runs against England back in April. Now that is dominance. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I am sure that one day Lara's record will go! Given the right conditions and the right opponent its quite easy to see it happen. His 501 as the highest first class score is a little safer. Unless someone scores very quickly its difficult to imagine someone being given the time to score that many runs. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 How about Éric Gagné? 84 consecutive saves!! Almost 30 more than the previous record... That may take a while before it is beaten.In the NHL, Hall's streak may last forever... And Gretzky's records for most points, most assists and most goals may stand for a while too... Oh, and Bettman trying to sell hockey to empty arenas is a "record" that will hopefully not be beaten by any other commissioner... Keep it canadian!!

yh Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I would like to see somebody break Fernando Tatis' record of two grand slam HR's in one inning. So would Chan Ho Park, indeed, so would Chan Ho Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 the coolest part was he was a batter away from coming up again in that inning with the bases loaded. They were talking about it on the Cardinals game last night. Also mentioned was the last guy to hit 4 HRs in a game for the cardinals....Mark(?) Witt. WTF is he doing now????

If Wilt is to be believed, there's another impressive record out there which he holds that would be awfully difficult for the mortal man to break. No wonder his poor heart gave out.

MoJoTo Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I don't think anybody will break Joel Youngbloods record of 2, by playing for three different teams in one day.Joel also may hold the record for having a hit with the most different teams in one day when he got one for both the Mets and the Expos.Gonna be hard to beat now-a-days.

pcgd Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 had the Nomar trade gone through, mencavicha;lkja;flkdja;f might have played for 2. They were playing each other. Now, could he have entered the red sox lineup midway through the game after playing for the opposing team? I wonder...cause if you're traded away, you can't play, but what if your traded to?perplexing...but I'm sure someone knows for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clarifying. That's what I said I think. Nobody will beat his record of 2 - by playing in three.Sorry for the confusion.It didn't seem to me like that's what you said... Let's break this sentence down:"I don't think anybody will break Joel Youngbloods record of 2, by playing for three different teams in one day." I'll skip the missing apostrophe... "record of 2" what? You didn't specify. "playing for three different teams in one day"... That's false. Joel Youngblood played for TWO teams on August 4, 1982: the Mets (in a day game against the Cubs at Wrigley) and the Expos (in a night game against the Phillies at the Vet). Again, just trying to clear it up. And props for bringing up the legend of Joel Youngblood on the anniversary of the day it happened.ETA: Actually, Youngblood is not the only person to play for two teams on the same day, but he is the only person to get a hit for two teams in two cities on the same day.

MilTownMVP Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 How about the actual number of records that Wilt holds?I think Bob Costas pointed it out. The NBA record book reads...Wilt ChamberlainWilt ChamberlainWilt ChamberlainPete MaravichWilt ChamberlainWilt ChamberlainWilt ChamberlainMichael Jordan...and so on.I could see Gale Sayers' 6 TD's in a game being tied, but not broken.Brett Favre's consecutive starts for a QB is just plain uncanny. Especially when you consider how often QB's are hit and don't see it coming.
