What sports records do you think will not be broken
#25
I can't imagine the Cal Ripken consecutive game streak ever being touched.

It is perplexing that so many folks view it as unbreakable.

See, that's where you don't see the obvious.  Tiger got a ten cent head because he couldn't handle the fame and fortune.  Jack was able to handle it.  To beat Nicholas's major record you not only have to be that good of a golfer, which is almost impossible, but also able to keep on track with all the distractions and injuries.  That's where the rub happens.  His record is safe IMO.
Tiger's biggest problem was his knee. My Dad told me (correctly) he was going to destroy his right knee because of the violent hinging (whatever word you want to use) years ago. That's exactly why he has had attempted to change his swing many times. 

Tiger also created the competition that is out there today. The younger dudes on tour all grew up watching and rooting for Tiger. Some of those guys would have never played golf if not for Tiger. 

Jack never dealt with near the same competition as today.

Tiger brought physical fitness/weight training into a sport that never really had it.

Not really. The PGA "traveling gym" for players to exercise and lift while on tour started in the 1980's.

I'm too lazy too delve into this with you but your highlighted statement is not true. Also, I always thought his back would give out. It did. Way too much over swing in the young years. The body can't take the abuse.

56 game hit streak.....esp. with the way the game has changed due to launch angle approach and the like.
Cal Ripken's 2632 games in a row played

No longer GroupThink 'woke'.  but it was fun while it lasted.

Are the Canadians due to fold? If not, then they could easily break their own record of 24 by simply adding to it.

And it would still be "Their" Team Record and yes they could.

If the game has changed before, then it stands to reason that it can and will change again. 

Odd to assume that "launch angles" is just the way that it is going to be from now on.

The New York Yankees have won 27 World Series and the next closest is the Cardinals with 11 and no one else in double digits. They've won more than a quarter of the titles since their first series win in 1923.

A lot of it depends on how long the leagues are going to last. If it is hundreds of years, then every team might have 20+ titles at some point.
