When I typed the original post I added "unless he does it himself". Then I thought that negates my argument that it would never be broken so I deleted that part.CaptainP wrote:Maybe by Ichiro...he's on pace to come close this year...LIPH wrote:I'll go out on a limb and say Ichiro's 262 hits in a season will never be broken.

I believe you are correct. The Patriots 3 Super Bowls might be the closest thing to a dynasty that the NFL will see for many years . . . and they are the odds on favorites for a 4th this year.ragtopW wrote:right But I think the Islanders was the last 4 in a row..drunkpirate66 wrote:yeah because the Celtics never owned an entire decade . . .ragtopW wrote:The Islanders four in a row..

The record isn't that high, 3 career cycles, and it is held by amazingly enough 3 players.ragtopW wrote:OK I'm not sure this is kept as a record but

the record for most cycles hit for in a lifetime..

Bob Meusel did it in the AL three times for New York; Babe Herman did it 3 times in the NL for Brooklyn (2) and Chicago (1); John Reilly did it three times for Cincinnatti, once in the NL (1890) and twice in the American Association (1883).
Still it is doubtful the record will ever be broken, because the cycle is such a rare event.
The Islanders won the cup from 80-83 inclusive. The Oilers, while not consecutively, won it 5 times from 84 to 90.drunkpirate66 wrote:I believe you are correct.

In this day and age of free agency, I'm always amazed when any professional sports team repeats.
Absolutely agree. I'm glad my team (the Redskins) doesn't have to play them too often. Of course, the last time they did, I think they beat them.drunkpirate66 wrote:Hockey Mon wrote:The Islanders won the cup from 80-83 inclusive.

not to sound like a Homer . . . but the Patriots really have been amazing!!! I guess I should throw the Spurs into that as well.
The Pats (I think) won a Super Bowl that year.

Not anymore, the Braves released him last week. They traded for some young guy from Texas who's supposed to be an upgrade at first base.chippewa wrote:And one still active......Julio Franco.CaptainP wrote:There is still ONE living former major league player that was actually alive the last time the Cubs one the World Series.popcornjack wrote:Here's the greatest record.
