The Greatest Player debat and my post in it got me thinking. What ARE the greatest single season records (or career records if you want to dig deeper) in sports and where do the great hockey records stand in relation?
I said in my post I think the most amazing career record in sports is Cy Youngs 511 and that, IMO, the hardest single season record to break will be Gretz 50 goals in 36 games.
Am I close (I'm sort of limited to Hockey and Ball for my sporting knowledge and even those I don't claim to be an expert in) or are there other records (Like Dimaggio's hit streak) that will stand longer, or are more impressive?
Some other hockey markers to make you think:
- Sawchuks SO record.
- Selanne's rookie goal/points numbers.
- Bossy's 9 consecutive 50+ goal seasons.
