What's the greatest individual record in sports history?

[Knightrofins]

He played for his DAD. He would've thrown a tantrum if his pops benched him....

Just couldn't ever get too impressed with his record. You can play an entire baseball game
and barely break a sweat.

Ripken SR was only the manager for 168 games

he had an impressive consecutive inning steak as well

I was actually at the football game that day

huh .. I didn't know that

honorable mentions:

John Stockton: All time steals leader 3,265 (present day NBA's phantom fouls, rarely anyone plays hard defense anymore)
Pacman Jones: 10+ arrest in his career and still played in the NFL for 10+ years.
Wilt Chamberlain: sleeping w/ 20,000+ women.
Wade Boggs (RIP) 100+ beers within 24hrs.

Pete Maravich's scoring average in college. 44.2 ppg, without the 3 point line.

They estimated with the 3 point line, he would have AVERAGED close to 60

It has been reported that former LSU coach Dale Brown charted every shot Maravich scored and concluded that, if his shots from three-point range had been counted as three points, Maravich's average would have totaled 57 points per game.

Babe Ruth's 54 homeruns in 1920. He hit more homeruns than every single TEAM save the Phillies!! No one will ever hit more homeruns than a single team again.

Just Fontaine's 13 goals in a single world cup tournament! Most teams don't even come close to scoring 13 goals in a tournament. In fact he's outscored teams that have won the entire tournament. The defending champs France scored 14 in their title run! Eight years after Fontaine's record England won the tournament scoring 11 goals.

Best all around college player that I have ever seen not counting centers....

Biggest blowout and most points ever scored in college football. Pretty sure this one will never be broken.

I don't think that's an individual record.

Largest margins of victory in a major. Old Tom Morris held the record for almost 140 years. Then Tiger Woods showed up at the 2000 U.S. Open. Tiger's 15-shot win at Pebble Beach broke the record for the largest margin of victory in a major championship
