Our List of Sports Records So Unreal, They’ll Make Your Grandma Want to Play!

This guy was making points faster than most of us can make bad decisions on a Saturday night! - Cy Young’s 749 career complete games in MLB (1890-1911).
In today’s world? Pitchers get replaced faster than you can say “batting average”. - UConn women’s basketball 111-game winning streak (1994-99).
Now, I’ve seen a lot, but 111 games? Somebody check if they have superpowers hidden in those sneakers! - Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,632 consecutive games played in MLB (1982-98).

Most of us can’t even score 100 points in a video game, let alone on an actual court! - Simone Biles’ 19 world gymnastics gold medals (2013-22).

This guy was hitting more than a caffeine-addicted barista on a Monday morning! - Bill Russell’s 11 NBA championships as a player (1957-69).
If NBA rings could talk, Bill’s hand would be the most obnoxious chatterbox you’ve ever met.
