Sometimes you got to give these athletes another round of praise. Cy Young is an example of that. Over the course of his celebrated career, the iconic pitcher threw 749 complete games.
Why this record will never be met? These days the MLB operates a little differently than they did back then, by actually limit the number of throws that their pitchers take. Those arms need to be protected! They cannot throw more than 100. Most of these pitchers go more than five innings. The fact that Young hit a full nine 749 times is mind-blowing.
Florence Griffith-Joyner The Sprinter
The famously controversial track and field athlete achieved her suspiciously good record and was accused multiple times of using PEDs. She does go down as one of the most tested athletes in sports history! Not once did she fail. Her 200m time in the 1988 Olympics still has yet to be challenged.
The closest anyone has come was Allyson Felix at the 2012 Olympics, and even she was well short with a time of 21.69.
Bill Mosienko The Ice King
You might be able to skate a with a puck along the ice in 21 seconds in a completely empty rink. Throw in the actual payers, it's impossible. Unless you're Bill Mosienko.
Keep in mind that in every hockey game there is a line change. There is simply no way this record can be broken.
Wilt The Stilt
Here he is again for another extraordinary feat. The giant not only scored 100 in a game but also grabbed the most rebounds with 55 back in 1960. Infortantelyu his team still lost to the Boson Celtics even after this amazing effort.
No one since 1973 has surpassed even 37 rebounds in an NBA game. Bill Russell reached a measly 51, but his playing days are far from over. We'll wait a few more decades to see of someone can make it.
The Legendary Pele
Many people have heard the name Pelé, even if they don't know exactly what he did. The legendary soccer player is highly regarded. His career his filled with record-breaking achievements. Even if there are some disputes around certain goals. Still, his legendary status remains unquestioned.
If you combine his international tours with the time he spent playing for other teams, the awe-inducing total comes out to 1,281 goals.
