Pete Rose is probably the most iconic baseball player to have ever played in Major League Baseball. During his 24 year career, Rose broke multiple records, one of which are remained untouched for years.
His 4,256 career hits blew the world’s mind. Ty Cobb came second with a measly 4,19. To this day, no one in the MLB came close to beating that record-breaking. Rose could rest easy when he retired knowing that he would forever be unmatched.
Georgia Tech Team Were Ferocious In This Historic Beatdown
Legend has it that Georgia Tech had been meaning to destroy Cumberland University ever since the two went head to head for the first time in 1916. Georgia Tech coach, John Heisman, ruthlessly trained his team until they scored 220 points and Cumberland scored zero.
It sounds impossible, but it totally happened and we don't know-how. It's safe to say that revenge was served that day. Never mess with Georgia tech again.
Curry Out Does Himself
Stephen Curry not only broke a record but also out-did himself by 78 threes to secure his spot. The person to come closest to this record was his very own teammate Klay Thompson. The list of top five three-pointers goes as follows: Stephen Curry (402), Stephen Curry (324), Stephen Curry (286), Klay Thompson (276), and Stephen Curry (272).
While Thompson is one formidable shooter, he still is several points away from beating Curry in that regard. Also, the point guard has quite a few more years on the court.
UCLA Top Dogs
The list of records is neverending. Just to name a few, they have 11 NCAA titles, 7 consecutive NCAA titles, 25 Final Four wins, and have been 34 weeks ta the No. 1 in AP Top 25 Poll.
Also, it seems inconceivable that a coach could get one generation of stars to not drop out. Does it seem like John Calipari is trying to recreate the Wooden magic by bringing in seven different classes of five-star freshmen year after year? Possible.
Joe DiMaggio Hated Not Getting On Base
In baseball, a good hitter if you reach the base 25 percent of the time you're doing a good job. It's not guaranteed that you will get a single hit every game. For Joe DiMaggio that was simply not an option.
He proved that with his streak of 56 consecutive games in 1941. No other player has ever hit more than 44 consecutive games. The most recent hitter to come close to DiMaggio's record was Jimmy Rollins when he hit 38 games in 2005.
