The Cincinnati Reds franchise is littered with history, but which amazing feats will never be duplicated by anyone ever again?

Records are made to be broken is an infamous phrase that most of us know. However, some records will require a Herculean effort if one wishes to stand alone. The Cincinnati Reds have a long and storied history and there are a few records that are unlikely to never be broken. Let’s look at some of the most unbreakable records in team history.

When you look at the sport of baseball, several feats that were commonplace over 100 years ago will likely never be seen in today’s game. Heck, even some records that were set only 30 years may never be touched by today’s athletes.

When you think about some of the most unbreakable records in sports, UCLA’s 88-game win streak comes to mind. Will we ever see a college basketball program that dominant ever again? How about Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points in a single game? A few have come close, but that record feels secure, right?

The Boston Celtics won eight consecutive championships, Cal Ripken Jr. played 2,632 consecutive games and Joe DiMaggio hit safely in 56 consecutive games. Those are impressive stats and it’s unlikely we’ll ever see those records fall.

But what about our favorite team, the Cincinnati Reds? What records have we seen from past players that will most likely never be broken? Some records may be more recent than you think, but they all have one thing in common; breaking such records will require a special set of circumstances.
