It's hard to believe, but baseball has been America's pastime and most beloved sport since the early 1800s. Since then, many players have taken the field in various capacities and have gone down in history for their efforts. There are pitchers who have struck out a record number of players, batters that have hit all sorts of home runs, and more. We always hear about various sports records and get excited when a modern athlete gets close to beating them. However, the fact remains that some simply cannot be beaten. To show you what we mean, we have a list of baseball records that will never be broken.

The records here cover various positions and plays. Many are pitching records that are unbelievable, like the lowest single-season pitching ERA being below 1.00, the most pitching losses in a year, the most no-hitter games, and more. The batters are no slouches, either. There are players with 58-game hitting streaks, 12 inside-the-park home runs during a season, and 36 triples in a single season. There are batters who have been hit by a record number of pitchers and players who have been on base 379 times — and none of this even includes all of the records that are currently held by Pete Rose.

If you're a baseball fan, you're undoubtedly going to be amazed by the talented players who have played the game, especially those from the 1800s. To determine the baseball records that will never be broken, 24/7 Tempo consulted various sports and biographical sources, including the MLB, Fox Sports, ESPN and more. There's a lot more to discover. For instance, once you're done learning about the records that will likely never, ever be beaten, check out the most embarrassing records in baseball history.
