Cal's is safe for eternity, it would take nothing short of a miracle for someone to play that many seasons without missing a single start.
N.Ryan, one of my all time favorites. I have an autographed picture of Nolan Ryan, in a blood soaked jersey after he was struck in the face by a line drive. He went on to pitch a complete game, shut out. In the face, line drive... in the face. Shut Out! His strikeout record, untouchable. There's a small chance someone could match him for No-Hitters but its only a .0009% chance. Hahah
A N.Ryan record you will never find in a book and one of my favorite games ever, Nolan delivered a fast ball that hit a young, very muscular batter. The guy immediately dropped the bat and charged towards the mound, fists cocked back ready to strike. When he reached the mound, Nolan formally introduced him to a right hook and slammed him on the infield. He was 41 at the time... No pitcher, will touch this one at the age of 41. ;-)
Can we edit this post? someone forgot to put Asterisks next to Bonds name...
