Entérese de dos eventos, que increíblemente sucedieron el mismo mes de enero, con 14 años de diferencia, por lanzadores del mismo equipo, contra el mismo rival, en el mismo estadio, usando el mismo número en su espalda y el mismo enmascarado detrás del plato. Quizás esto no es lo más especial, sino que los dos lanzadores en conseguir este hito fueron padre e hijo. Urbano Lugo y su hijo Urbano Lugo Jr, fueron los protagonistas de esta hazaña jamás igualada en ningún otro beisbol del mundo.

Top 9 Most Unbreakable Records in Baseball

I was watching the MLB Network yesterday and a show was aired about the top 9 most unbreakable records in baseball. I thought it was amazing, so I decided to blog about it. So if you love baseball, and I mean really love baseball, then you will find these records fascinating.

These are the top 9 most unbreakable records in baseball:

#9. Eric Gagne's 84 straight saves as a Dodger.

84 consecutive saves... are you kidding? From 2002-2004, Gagne did not blow one single save opportunity for 23 consecutive months. What's more impressive is that during that period, relievers around the majors combined to blow 969 saves while he had zero.

#8. Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak.

There's no doubt that Dimaggio is one of the best players to ever play the game, this man was a legend. Joe's incredible hitting streak began on May 15, 1941 and it ended 56 games later in July (during his streak, he batted .408 with 15 HRs and 55 RBIs). In recent years, the closest players to get to his record have been Andre Ethier (in 2011) and Ryan Zimmerman (in 2009) both with 30. I don't think "the streak" will ever be broken, but if it happens, I only hope I get to see it because it will be a historic day!

#7. Pete Rose's 4,256 Career Hits. If Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak seems almost impossible to break, Rose's record takes impossibility to a [Ed Young's voice] "Hole Nutha Level." First of all, to even get to 3K hits is extremely difficult, so difficult that only 28 players in the history of baseball have achieved this. Just so can have an idea of how difficult it will be to break this record, Derek Jeter is the closest active player with a chance to break Pete Rose's record, and he is 1,136 hits away.

#6. Hack Wilson's (1930) 191 RBI in 1 Season.

Lou Gehrig's 184 RBIs in the 1931 season is the closest anyone has ever gotten to beat Wilson's record. In recent years, Mark Teixeira has be the closest player with 144 in the 2005 season. Unbreakable record? Most likely.

#5. Nolan Ryan's 5,714 career Ks.

What can you say about this? Nothing really... other than Nolan is the man.

#4. Ricky Henderson's 1406 stolen bases.

The fastest and smartest base stealer of all-times.

#3. New York Yankees' 5 straight World Series Titles.

From 1949 to 1955, the Yanks dominated baseball winning 5 straight WS title. The A's (1972-1974), and the Yankees (1998-2000) have gotten close winning 3 straight. Since 2000, no team has won the WS in consecutive years.

#2. Cal Ripken Jr. 2,632 Consecutive games played.

There's a reason why Cal is known as the iron man. He had incredible endurance, and let's a be honest, a little bit of luck too for not getting seriously injured. This is pretty much impossible to achieve today with players getting days off to rest and with so many players going to the DL.

#1. Cy Young's 511 Career Wins.

There has never been a greater pitcher than Cy Young in the history of baseball, and quiet frankly, I don't think there will ever be any. There's a reason why the best pitcher of each league gets the "Cy Young" Award at the end of each season. Young won 30+ games 5x, and 20+ games 10x in his 21-year career. For this record to ever be broken, a pitcher will have to win 25 games for 20 straight seasons, and he still will be shy of the record by 11. So, if there is an unbreakable record in baseball, it is definitely this one.

Other great records in baseball that may never be broken:

Mariano Rivera's Saves Record.

Mo is without a doubt the best closer in the history of the game. As of right now, Rivera has 607 saves in his career. He will probably have 30+ more saves by the time this season is over, and there's still the uncertainty of whether he will retire or not. After Mo, Francisco Cordero has the most career saves (329) among active pitchers. Having said that, the chances of anyone ever breaking Rivera's record is very unlikely.

Most complete games by a pitcher: Cy Young (749).

Most no-hitters: Nolan Ryan (7).

Most saves in a single season: Francisco Rodriguez (62) in 2008.
