While Joey Chestnut throwing down 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes was an incredible feat, we don’t consider competitive eating a sport, sorry. So without further ado, here are the four individual sports records that will NEVER be broken by a human being (or a cyborg for that matter).
““Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are. Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.””
Johnny Vander Meer, Pitcher, Cincinnati Reds: tossed two consecutive no-hitters in 1938 (psst…that means you need to pitch three bagels in a row to break that, never)
Emmitt Smith, Running Back, Dallas Cowboys/Arizona Cardinals: rushed for 18,355 yards in his career
Nolan Ryan, Pitcher, Houston Astros/California Angels/New York Mets/Texas Rangers: 5,714 career strikeouts
Michael Phelps, Swimmer: 28 total Olympic medals won, 23 Olympic gold medals won.
