I love my Huskies but there’s another Connecticut team with a longer win streak

‘The Streak’ That Can’t Be Squashed

The men’s squash team completes the longest winning streak in college sports history, under Head Coach Paul Assaiante.

Barry Bonds HR record MIGHT someday. I can't believe Pete Rose's total hits isn't on the list. It will never be touched.

Breaking the Huskies record of 14 consecutive final fours might be pretty tough as well.

There was also a 30-some years without back to back losses

I never realized that Joe DiMaggio looked so much like Ted Williams.

 

[Blakeon18]

Of all those 15 I think Cy Young's 511 wins is the 'most unbreakable'.
One of the 'easier' ones is Bolt's 9.58. They are getting pretty close...9.64 I think.

 

[ConnMotors]

Cy Young’s number of wins and Cal Ripken Jrs games played in a row will never be broken. As for UConn’s 111 game win streak that will be broken and it will be more than likely done by UConn once again.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

I don't think any current track & field record is unbreakable - even those set by
the juiced up women from the old eastern block countries. ( maybe even Flo Jo's
record ).

 

[DemonDeac22]

Cry Young’s 511 wins has to be the most unbreakable given the way starting pitching is handled today.

How about 4 straight women’s college basketball championships? Who will get 5 in a row with increasing parity every year?

 

[Next 12]

How about one of the BIGGEST and growing; Geno's 1250 wins. THAT will never be broken. Team Uconn and Geno has SO MANY records that will not be broken in any one's lifetime. GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!

As for UConn’s 111 game win streak that will be broken and it will be more than likely done by UConn once again.

Just 99 games to go.

Even though I think the window is closing, I wouldn't mind making it a little harder for others to break.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I goofed when I first looked at this. Gretzky's points total is safe, but Ovechkin just broke his record for goals scored and I don't think that was ever supposed to happen.

Take a look at the hat too. So did DiMaggio play for the Dodgers or Red Sox?

Undefeated professional boxers with the most wins

James Curran Barry was an American boxer who held the world bantamweight championship from 1894 to 1899. Commonly referred to as "The Little Tiger", Barry retired undefeated with a record of 59–0–10, the most wins of any undefeated world boxing champion. He was inducted intoThe Ring magazine Hall of Fame in 2000.

Ricardo López Nava is a Mexican former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2001. He was a two-weight world champion, having held the WBC mini flyweight title from 1990 to 1998, defending it against a record-breaking 21 opponents; the WBA and WBO mini flyweight titles between 1997 and 1998; and the IBF junior flyweight title from 1999 until his retirement in 2001. His record was 51-0-1. He is the father of undefeated former boxer Alonso López

I’ll check back in ~3 years and see we’re at.

Dom DiMaggio played for Boston.

Secretariat belmont time will never be broken

Agree on the first two. The 111 is a pretty tough one to beat though. Obviously not in the same league as Cy and Cal’s but if Sarah & co don’t do it, then it’ll be a long time before anyone wins 112 consecutive games.

missing is….number of NCAA tournament basketball victories, men or women

Yeah, Mike Powell’s long-jump record will stand longer than Bolt’s 100. The closest non-wind-aided jump other than his was Bob Beamon’s in 1968.

While I totally agree with Cy Young's win record, I think that his 316 losses might be even harder, and his total decisions (827) is really impossible.

And, IIRC, 705 complete games. (Oops! it’s 749. And I call myself a quant.)

Barry Bonds "Home Run" record is a complete fraud so it does not really even count....Exactly why he will never get in the hall of fame..

Pete Roses total hit record should be on the list because that will never be broken...Too many injuries.

I never realized that Joe DiMaggio looked so much like Ted Williams.

Ted Williams had a record streak of his own, an equally impressive one. In 1949 he reached base safely in 84 consecutive games.

Over the course of Williams’s career (1939-1960), he got on base more often than anyone who has ever played the game. His lifetime on-base percentage was .482. In other words, he reached base 48.2 percent of the time – almost half of the times he stepped into the batter’s box.
