What is almost mind boggleing to me is that in the thousands of OOTP seasons I have simmed I have never had a virtual player even come close to a 56 game hit streak
Now compare that to the rougly 150 seasons of big league baseball and the odds are fantastic that it would happen real life and not in a game
Another record that gets overlooked is Babe Ruths 1920 season
Ruth hit 54 HRs that season
35 more than second place
He hit more HRs than any other team other than his Yankees and the Phillies
I think the modern equivalent to that would be a player suddenly hitting .600 for a season
Or a NFL HB rusing for 5,000 yards and 60 TDs
Or a NBA player averaging 50 PPG
Records are meant to record the extremes in sport. Ruths season shattered extremes and completly changed the sport.
I do think we will ever seen that again in modern sport.
