I got to thinking about this the other day when I was researching another story. The unbreakable records. How many even have a chance of being broken? Well in today’s game, one most unlikely to fall is Ripken’s consecutive games played streak. Players today no longer play every day. And that includes the stars. Freeman three games last season, and Trea Turner missed two. Only two other players appeared in as many as 140, Bellinger and Betts. So, it is probably a safe bet that Steve Garvey’s NL record won’t be broken either.
DiMaggio’s 56 game hitting streak is pretty safe too.
