The most unbreakable records in MLB history: 9 Straight batting titles

This one should come as no surprise, but with Ty Cobb holding the major league record for batting average, it doesn’t shock us to see how many batting titles he won in a row.

As a member of the Detriot Tigers in AL, Cobb’s name repeatedly rose to the top of the charts in terms of batting titles at the end of the season. By the time Cobb wrapped up his Hall of Fame career, he managed to pile up nine straight batting titles from 1907-1915.

Impossible is such a strong and direct word. Essentially, it indicates that no matter how hard someone tries, they’ll simply never be able to accomplish something. And while we know anything is possible, the likelihood of someone passing this record is extremely minuscule.

There has been several great players who strung together a few batting titles such as Nap Lajoie, Rod Carew, and Wade Boggs, all who registered four straight but no one has been able to truly challenge Cobb’s and at this point, barring some ridiculously talented player who eventually makes their way to the majors, this record will stand forever.
