I know it's not as famous as some of the others, but I believe the Fernando Tatis' 2 Grand Slams in the same inning should at least be noteworthy. I can't really see that getting broken. And we have to at least mention Pujols here. I know he hasn't broken any big records...yet...but his accomplishments are still phenomenal. Only player in baseball history to start his career in eight consecutive seasons with a .300+ batting average, 30+ HRs, 100+ RBIs and 99+ runs scored. He's well on his way to the record books. Possible Triple Crown candidate? Maybe. As of right now he is leading the pack as far as Career Triple Crown, that's mighty impressive. As for hockey, needs to be updated now that Martin Brodeur has passed Patrick Roy's wins mark. I'd still take Roy between the pipes any day though. And, most people are unaware of this record, but the fastest hatrick in hockey. Give it some thought. It's faster than you think. In 1952, Bill Mosienko of the Chicago Blackhawks recorded the fastest hatrick in NHL history, scoring three goals in 21 seconds against the New York Rangers. Unbelievable!

My top three are: 1) Cal Ripken Jr.- 2,632 consecutive games played. The way the game of baseball is played in the current era I believe there is NO WAY this will ever be broken. I can't even begin to think or find the current MLB streak. Hands down the best record of all time. Tied for 2nd. UCLA winning 7 national championships and Lance Armstrong winning 7 Tour de Frances. These two records will be tough to repeat, but would be easier to accomplish than Cal's consecutive games. Winning just one championship in any sport is exciting and a great accomplishment, but 7 in row...truely amazing! Never say never….well 007 didn’t and maybe we shouldn’t either. :0)
