Dimaggio's consecutive game hit streak; maybe even Rickey Henderson's stolen base record.

All records are tough to break. But for anyone who's ever played hockey must realize that winning one STANLEY CUP is tough enough. You have to go through a grueling season and the playoffs are just as long and grueling as the regular season. Now try going winning four straight? Five straight? No team has ever done that. In the expansion era in the NHL only the New York Islanders were able to accomplish this. So, think about it.

I think the NFL Career rushing record is the most important in sports cause of the beating a running back takes over a career compare to a baseball player. Plus it’s a lot harder to do cause of the abuse the body takes over a career and also depends on the strength of his offense line blocking for him. That’s why I think it’s more hallowed record than the baseball home run record.

Most IMPORTANT?

I don’t think any sports record is important.

Which is most IMPRESSIVE? There’s a BIG difference.

The most impressive is the record for MOST record setting career home runs.

When Babe Ruth set the career Home Run Record, it was like 250. When he finished the career record was 714… so basically he hit about 460 record home runs. He was esentially THREE TIMES the home run hitter of anyone that had played the game before him.

In order to match that record, a player would have to hit about 1200 home runs… which will NEVER happen.

Second most impressive? Cy Young’s 511 wins.

Or maybe it’s UCLA’s win streak?

Johnny Van Der Meer’s two consecutive no-hitters? You may not be impressed, but when will ANYBODY throw three in a row and break it?

Joe D’s hitting streak is one that probably will never broken.

Another important one is Cy Young’s 511 wins.
