I did some research and no NBA team has ever surpassed the Boston Celtics 8-peat from 1959-1966. I didn't even know such a record existed.

Ted Williams record of reaching base safely in 84 straight games? Johnny Vander Meer pitching two no-hitters in a row? Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in one game?

@rinkydinkydoink There's a story that that ALMOST happened. Supposedly the owners of the Yankees and Red Sox were having dinner together and imbibing a bit over-much and began imagining what DiMaggio would do batting with Fenway's Green Monster and what Williams could do with Yankee Stadium's short porch -- and then began talking a trade. When they sobered up the next day they nixed the idea.

Here's one for you - - - has there ever been a big league baseball game where every player on a team finished the game with the same batting average they had entering the game?

Unbelievable. I remember the days when the Soviets didn't believe in using players over the age of 30 on their national "amateur" teams. They laughed at the idea of someone Gordie Howe's age playing in the NHL then in the WHA with his sons.
Ovechkin scored 36 goals in the RSL so his total regular season tally comes to 933 in both major leagues.
Btw, whereas Gretzky scored a total of 940 regular season goals in the NHL and the WHA combined, the elder Howe scored a combined 1071 in both leagues. That may be what Ovechkin is going for... (perhaps not)

I knew about Beamon's record that lasted forever but, yeah, googling confirmed what you said - - someone will set a great distance then it takes years and years for that to be broken and so on...

Man o' War had to have been something else indeed to have beaten out Big Red as the thoroughbred of the 20th century.
