What about Mario Lemieux, the only hockey player in history to score 5 goals in different ways in 1 single hockey game: on December 31, 1988, he scored an even-strength goal, a power-play goal, a short-handed goal, a penalty shot goal and an empty net goal.
So I guess you could call a hat-trick that was even strength, short handed and PP a Super Mario [even though he only did it once] [much like a Gordie How hat-trick]
I’d say an even strength, PP, and shorthanded hat trick should be called a Super Mario and a left/right/header hat trick should be called an ambidextrous hat trick.
The Lemieux Cycle is the hardest individual single game accomplishment in sports, if for no other reason than it takes a perfect series of events to occur for it to happen, including the opposing team pulling the goalie. Close runner up, Fernando Tatis's 2 grand slams in an inning.
@@secretjuice1183 if you want to truly abide by statistics, you have to do it by game since theres 162 games in baseball vs 82 in basketball. However, 100 point game is definitely harder than getting 20 strikeouts in a baseball game. (Neither is easy but one is definitely harder than the other).
Nathaniel Sullivan yes because after taking so many shots you’ll probably benched in a little time and its exhausting while baseball is more teqnique and arm strength
Gilmore was hitting his drives while running. While it's true that running to hit the ball will increase the distance that it will travel (not as much as in the movie) and it's legal to do, no professional players will ever use this technique because it's payoff is never worth the risk. Hitting the sweet spot of a golf ball with a driver, standing still is already very hard for inexperienced players - a running approach will make it far more difficult to strike the ball correctly.
I can think of a few that were missed from hockey (and with respect to the goalie-goal, I'd say these two are both more difficult): -10 point game in hockey (done just once - Darryl Sittler in 1976) -Mario Lemieux Hat-trick (score all five different ways in one game - even strength, powerplay, shorthanded, penalty shot, and empty net).
We don't really know that. If Kobe can get 81, I think it's not unreasonable to think that there's another 100-point game out there sometime in the future.
I would classify 100 points more as a world record that was set. Same with the 4min mile. A hat trick in soccer is cool but I think the "Golden Hat Trick" is more impressive. Three Goals in a game, one with the left foot, one with the right foot and one with the head.
If you actually look at the 100 point game, he didn't do it on a regulation court. The game was played at the Hershey arena and not in an NBA arena. The court was smaller than an actual NBA court.
@@MarkEWallace Man, you're talking about kobe. A once in a generation player. And a lot of one of a kind player was in the NBA. None of them did it, not even jordan.
Tennis: Golden set: Set which is won without dropping a single point. Only one man in the history of top-tier professional tour tennis has ever achieved this: Bill Scanlon against Marcos Hocevar in the first round of the WCT Gold Coast Classic at Delray Beach on February 22, 1983. Scanlon won the match 6-2, 6-0. The achievement is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Yeah. The hockey hat trick should've been mentioned in the honorable mentions instead of a cricket hat trick. (How DOES one get a "hat trick" in cricket, anyhow? It's certainly not three runs, which isn't impressive in a game where a team's final score often gets in the triple digits.) For that matter, the overall British bias on this list is astonishing for a channel whose announcer has no trace of a British accent and doesn't use the spelling "honourable". Snooker, really? And what in the world is a "perfect series" in bowling? Are you talking about a perfect or 300 game, which requires 12 strikes in a row? And you should tell us if you're gonna call soccer "football" and football "American football".
JosephJamesScott that is debatable, because Dallas Braden was an average pitcher at best. And remember Armando Gallaraga from the Detroit Tigers has his perfect game ruined by an umpire??? He was by all accounts an average pitcher as well.
Didn't Dallas have his career cut short due to injuries? Hard to say how good he would have been if he'd had a full career, and as for Armando Gallaraga, the dude did have flashes of greatness, 2008 he was almost rookie of the year, and in 2010 Detroit was a .500 ball club that year and if baseball ran the playoffs like most sports (16 team playoff) they'd probably have made the secondary season. Good points though, when both those guys got (or nearly got) their perfect games they were probably average pitchers.
5 goals in a hockey game. To this day Mario Lemieux is the only player to accomplish this in five different situations (even strength, power play, penalty kill, penalty shot and empty net)
Sorry +WatchMojo.com...the toughest single game accomplishment to do in sports is what Mario Lemieux did on December 31, 1988. Mario became the only player in NHL history to score a goal in the only 5 possible game situations. He scored a power play goal, a short-handed goal, a regular goal, a penalty shot goal and an empty-netter. Marking the only time in NHL history before and after to be done...
I'm shocked it was left off the list. It's so hard to do because it involves a penalty shot, and then again requires the game to still be close enough for the goaltender to get pulled. Scoring a powerplay goal, even strength goal and a shorthanded goal in the same game is hard enough. But throw in having to be awarded a penalty shot AND on the ice when there is an empty net? You'd need a notebook to even try and figure out how unlikely it is.
jack marcum I think you misunderstood what I said. I'm saying it's hard enough to score at even strength, on the powerplay, and shorthanded all in the same game. But for the 5 goals in 5 ways THAT PLAYER needs to be awarded the penalty shot (and score on it) AND be on the ice when there's the empty net. I'm 1000% agreeing with you that the 5 goals in 5 ways was cheated off the list. :)
..I knew what you meant...I was just stating that in that game Mario did 3 of those goals in the 1st period...which is awesome to think he had a hat trick before the 1st period ended...
5 goals in 5 different ways? Only Mario Lemieux has ever done that and there is next to no chance that someone will repeat it. Not even the Great One could do it.
Oh man bet you even needed to google which ways are there to shoot a goal. And what does the amount of points have to do with the way that they are scored? In basketball all points are scored the exact same way. By throwing the ball. The exact same thing counts for ice hockey. Don't know what you are talking about. Why should the amount of credit you get for scoring have anything to do with the way you are scoring? Makes no sence
It is the most boring sport I have ever watched. I honestly can't understand how people can sit for so long watching static players as just ONE of the tries to hit a ball with a stick.
+Cow Games Of course in UCL players are not gonna score a hat trick. It's the best teams in Europe playing each other, what did you think would happen? But when Barcelona or Real plays in La Liga then the hat tricks are very common.
A sub four in a mile is insanely difficult to achieve, only olympic type athletes have ever been able to do, hat tricks in soccer aren't uncommon whatsoever. Edit: Lewandowski scored *5* goals in 9 minutes.
People run sub 4 minute miles all the time...it's nothing special...it was given a lot of hype because an Englishman did it....How about winning every race for 12 years like hurdler Edwin Moses did?
literally EVERY professional miler has to be at LEAST 6 seconds faster than the 4 minute mile to even qualify for any serious race (world championships, Olympics, major meets) in the equivalent metric mile. It's not even on the same level as any of these other feats. It's like dunking in basketball... if you can do it, it means nothing. If you can't... you may not even be a pro runner.
Anybody who says a 4 minute mile isn’t the most difficult thing by far on this list and certainly says it’s common obviously knows absolutely nothing about distance running
A Hole in One on a par 4 is by far the rarest/most difficult task. Golf has been played for well over 100 years and there’s only 1 ever recorded in professional golf.
There's always that one golfer that shows up and argues that "golf is the hardest". A perfect game might not be as statistically rare as a par 4 hole in one (though it could be because I'm unable to determine the number of professional rounds of golf every played), it is WAY too dependent on luck to call it "more difficult". If you can hit the distance, just keep hitting it until you get a hole in one. Play enough rounds on that course, and it'll happen even if you suck. A perfect game, or a hat trick, or most of the things on the list, have virtually no luck involved at all. There is absolutely no luck in a pitcher and the team behind him getting 27 outs in a row with no one making it to first base. You can't just keep trying and eventually get that. Either you and the team is good enough, or you aren't.
Dylan Reddekopp the reason that perfect game is above 100 point game, rightfully so, is because in a perfect game you have to have 10 people be perfectly coordinated and on top of there game for at least an hour and a half
100 point game --> many talented pros got close to it but distributed the ball better while wilt was where the ball ended in his team during the 100 point game. Plus wilt had many advantages -- no 3 second rule, jumping over the freethrow line after throwing a shot from the ft line was allowed, etc. However, it is damn impressive to have 100 poitns without a 3 pt shot. But keep in mind, his teammates passed the ball to him for him to score which is easier than having to defend the ball that may change courses due to ground pavings, wind, etc in baseball. Perfect game is harder as pitchers get more pressure on their arms only by pitching 9 innings. But to make none of them step a base is at least 100 times harder. Your teammates have to contribute and need to catch all the balls and cannot have any errors. You also have to be an extremly dominant pitcher or a pitcher with no information as baseball is a predictable game when it comes to pitching and your job is to either trick them or throw the ball at a weird tempo so that their predictions may be right but the timing will be wrong. Also you have to have the perfect aim that night as 4 balls = a walk which ruins your perfect game. No-hitter is already damn hard but think of a perfect game where no errors or walks may occur.
How about Mario Lemieux scoring 5 goals in 5 different ways? (powerplay, shorthanded, 5 on 5, penalty shot, empty net) - not even mentioning scoring 5 goals in a game itself is very difficult.
I literally shot down to the comments after seeing the number 1 to just be like... "Hey, what about Lemieux"? Glad I'm not alone (despite being a little late)
The problem is that it has been done to infrequently that no one strives for it. This is also why i believe they left out the ten point game scored in hockey. If only one person has done it, sure it's a hell of an accomplishment, but it would fit better in the category of record
Ben Schneiderheinze The list is called "the toughest acccomplishments in a single game" Therefore, ranking them on their difficulty. If 100 points isn't even attempted, its because its ridiculously difficult. People go for perfect games, they do. That shows that its not as insurmountable as 100 points, therefore should be ranked lower on the list.
I agree that the 100 point game is a better achievement than the perfect game, but it is so different from all the rest on the list. Most of the rest (disregard triple play and scoring goal as goalie) are seen as things that put you into an elite club in that sport. It's hard to have an elite club with just one person. I am not saying that the 100 point game is a bad achievement, I'm just saying that because only one person has achieved it, it doesn't really fit with the others.
Not a fan of the single game achievements like the 100 point game. It's not something like the hat trick, unassisted triple play, perfect game, etc. I think the the hardest thing in sports is running a 1 minute mile. It's so fast nobody has even done it yet. That's impressive.
@Zachary Alger What a drag! Reminds me of Kelly Gruber's(Blue Jays 3B, 90's) unassisted (if memory serves) Triple-Play in the World Series in 92 or 93. The Base-Ump missed the tag and blew the play! Man, did that suck! Check it out if you've never seen it. Thanks for answering my original question! Peace!
I'm sure they just wanted to feature as many sports as possible, but there could definitely be more things from baseball on this list. 20 strikeouts, hitting for the cycle, the 5-4-3 triple play, the no-hitter, inside-the-park homer, 4 homers in a game.. All of these are harder or more rare than some things on this list.
CoBeX31 inside the park homer should have been there, no sense in having no hitter when you have perfect game. Hitting for the cycle is another big one. They could do one of these for each of the 5 major sports (soccer, football, hockey, basketball, and baseball) and still have some pretty cool lists
Yeah that is pretty stupid. Personally I think the quadruple double is the harest to do. If one player for a team takes almost all the teams shots, 100 points is easy especially with three pointers. But a quadruple double is sheer dominance in all phases of a single basketball game. Clearly it's harder to do than any of these other things as it's only happened 4 times.
Holes in one are pretty common. I've talked to several semi-professional golfers who have had them. Hat tricks in soccer are rare because the game is so incredibly dull and ANY scoring is rare.
@@deandrenicholas2545 nah the 100 points should not count since it really isn't a thing compared to the quadruple double which getting double digits in points blocks steals rebounds and assists or an unassigned triple play where you get 3 people out at once by yourself
I think the final score was 169-143. Defense wasn't a priority back then, except on the Celtics, with Bill Russell. The opponent was the Knicks, who were the worst team in the league. Wilt AVERAGED 50.4 points per game that season. Wilt was the worst foul shooter in NBA history, (50.6% or thereabouts), but that night he hit 28 out of 32 free throws. (He shot his free throws underhanded with two hands) ...But here's something else...Wilt once scored 60 points in ONE QUARTER of a HIGH SCHOOL basketball game (they only play 8 minute quarters in NY State...I don't know wht htey did in Pennsylvania when he was young.....he mentioed it in his book.!)
+Joe Marshall Fun fact: Wilt only averages 22.5 ppg in the playoffs for his career. In the season that he recorded 50.4 ppg, he "merely" had 35 ppg out of 12 postseason games. Though his rebounding remains consistently high.
Joe Marshall ”In a high school game in 1955, Chamberlain had scored 90 points in a 123-21 victory. The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, "Chamberlain might have hit 100 if he had played the entire 32 minutes."
Its strange not to have scoring 300 runs in a test innings even mentioned but it's an insult to cricket and Brian Lara that scoring 400 runs in an international test innings not even mentioned. Its happened ONCE in almost 150 years
yah had to scroll down and see if someone would mention cricket ... the 300 in a test is big (only done 30 times), 400 by lara is insane. The determination, endurance, and skill required to achieve such a feat deserves recognition. This list is certainly an american list.
Because people don't understand what that even means, the world population can understand scoring 3 goals or 100 points but only cricket fans know cricket terms
That's a very tough one to do but I think it's too situational in order to be on the list. I think there's too many variables since you can't call a penalty shot i'ts so situational. It's still very cool achievement but I think it's too "speacial" in a way.
most male olympic and even many college male runners can now complete a 4 minute mile. So for the average fit individual a 4 minute mile is difficult, but at this point, almost all professional male runners can run a 4 minute mile.
danglezbenderz That's what they said about a woman completing stage one of Amercian Ninja Warrior Finals. Guess what, it was done this year. Never say never, but I do agree that it probably won't happen in THIS generation.
I pitched a perfect game and had three nine pitch innings in that game when I was twelve. Another time later on that season I had an unassisted triple play also.
My son pitched a 6 inning, 1 walk, no-hitter in 6th grade little league and lost! The catcher literally could not catch the ball. My son struck out the first 17 batters. Then walked a kid on a 3-2 pitch. The catcher missed the next two balls and the runner advanced to second, then third. On the next pitch, the catcher (the coach's son...you would have thought he's send someone else in there to catch) missed it again. My son went home to cover, and the catcher threw it wild! In the bottom of the inning, my son led off with a triple that he had a chance of stretching to a HR, but he played it safe. The next three batters struck out, stranding my son. Game over 1-0. The other catcher could catch.
Jonas Sherman I threw an immaculate game I struck out all 27 batters on 3 pitches each. I also hit 10 grand slams that same game with 40 RBIs. Then the next day I got 9 unassisted Triple plays as well as 19 stolen bases. Then a week later I robed 30 home runs. We played a 10 inning game. But the most amazing thing is my last game pitching I pitched a 100,000 inning no hitter. The only guy who reached was on an error. And get this. The guy who made the error was the umpire!!!! I know right!!!
1924: Marie Boyd scored 156 points in a full HS game 1982: Cheryl Miller scored 105 points in a full HS game. 1990: Lisa Leslie scored 101 points in 16 minutes of a HS basketball game. She would have scored more if the other team came out of the locker room after halftime. 2006: Epiphanny Prince scored 113 points in a full HS game.
Then there was the collegiate softball player that hit a homerun cycle: grand slam, 3 run homer, 2 run homer, and a solo shot. Only person to ever do that.
a baseball perfect game may indeed be number one - but they failed to mention a guy named Harvey Haddix who pitched 12 perfect innings against the best hitting team at the time (Milwaukee Braves) - and lost the game!!! THIS is by far the most impressive pitching performance in baseball history.
another interesting side note to this game; "Some years later, Milwaukee's Bob Buhl revealed that the Braves pitchers had been stealing signs from Pittsburgh catcher Smoky Burgess, who was exposing his hand signals due to a high crouch. From their bullpen, Braves pitchers repeatedly repositioned a towel to signal for a fastball or a breaking ball, the only two pitches Haddix used in the game."
@@Holymakinaw - No one else has ever done all the different ways of scoring a goal, either, so I'm not sure why you think it's "much more impressive." Each is a singular accomplishment.
Mario Lemieux scoring every way possible in a single game is pretty crazy. Although it doesn’t belong on this list a Gordon Howe hat trick is my favorite single game achievement
Ajaa Yah Getting 3 people out in 3 consecutive balls. Compared to Baseball it doesn’t sound impressive but in international levels most teams are able to face up to 600 balls before switching innings.
Mario Lemieux scoring in every possible way (power play, short-handed, full strength, penalty shot, and empty net) in a single hockey game was quite impressive as well as these.
Hockey, five goals, five different ways. Happened only once to my knowledge. Perfect games are indeed a rare accomplishment, but there's been 20+ of those.
That's a good one...who was it? Another one....back in '07, Tom Brady had more TD passes in a game than incomplete passes. 6 td's, 5 inc's.....during a snowstorm.....
steve b I don't disagree. I was clearly being sarcastic lol. The only home run cycle at the professional level was in minor league baseball by Tyrone Horne, who stroked four long balls for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers in a game against the San Antonio missions on July 27, 1998. It's been done a few times at the collegiate level though.
What about a quintuple double? It's so hard that no one has ever recorded one at the professional or collegiate level. There are rumors that Wilt Chamberlain had one, but blocks and steals weren't recorded back then and no footage of said game has ever been uncovered. The only ones ever recorded were by Tamika Catchings and Aimee Oertner, two high school players. Still, there is no footage of these games.
I think a Perfect Hat Trick in football is better than an actual hat trick. The difference for those who don't know, is that a goal must be with the right foot, another with the left foot and one with a header. That is way less common or a bicycle kick goal, which is incredible to see as well as rare even in top leagues.
@@darrenmeservia5578 They don't count as goals in player stats. Besides, if you score an empty-net goal, it more than likely eliminates the need for a shoot-out.
You'd guys didn't considered cricket's rarest 6 sixes in an over and 10 wickets in a single innings......both of which are a lot more difficult and rare than most of these achievements in this list.💁🏻♂️
Not sure if it is a single game accomplishment but Eddie Hall's 500kg deadlift is unmatched. As in no one else has come close. He is the only person on a planet of 7 billion llus people to ever achieve this feat. That is pretty incredible
Care to notice, if you will, that a hat trick was a term used by a Toronto hatmaker when he would give a free hat to any player who scored three goals in a hockey game
Mario Lemieux is the only player in NHL history to score 5 goals in 5 different ways in one game (full strength, power play, short handed, penalty shot and open net)
Triple hundred in Test Cricket, double hat-trick (4 wickets in 4 balls) also in Cricket. 6 6's in an over in cricket. Try to remember there are sports played outside the US which the US isn't the main player in.
@@neonmanas5568 I once hired a guy for an IT job because when I asked him what his greatest accomplishment was, he said taking all 10 wickets in an innings in an A grade game.
Compucles who Larsen he was average Joe pitcher if he did juice he would have a better era and besides that was during the golden age of baseball before steroids was a thing
VMan29397 Did you see your name in my comment? No, so I wasn't replying to you. I was referring to Randy Johnson as mentioned in the original comment of this thread.
cant tell if you're joking or not but why would they choose the cycle over a perfectly pitched game? I would add getting 20 strike outs in a game by a single pitcher before I would add the cycle in my eyes that's way tougher considering only 3 pitchers have ever done it
A perfect game definitely deserves to be #1. Not only do you have to play at Max performance but you rely alot on your teammates not screwing up. The pitcher may get the credit but it is definitely a team effort.
a hatrick in football is not as rare as it once was, actually its not even considered something amazing anymore. Messi and ronaldo seem to get hatricks like nothing
as an upset hockey fan, thought i would do a few hockey accomplishments here: 1. bill Mosienko scoring a hat trick in 21 seconds 2. gretzky's 50 goals in 39 games 3. super mario scoring in all 5 different ways in a game (even strength, power play, short handed, penalty shot and empty net 4. darryl sittler getting 10 points in a game 5. ron hextall being the first goalie to shoot the puck into the opposing net 6. joe malone scoring 7 goals in a game 7. tiger william's 3,966 penaty minutes in a career 8. teemu selanne scoring 76 goals in his rookie season 9. gretzky's 51 game point streak 10. 502 consecutive games as a goalie for glenn hall

should have been 5 goals.

Yeah. The hockey hat trick should've been mentioned in the honorable mentions instead of a cricket hat trick. (How DOES one get a "hat trick" in cricket, anyhow? It's certainly not three runs, which isn't impressive in a game where a team's final score often gets in the triple digits.)
For that matter, the overall British bias on this list is astonishing for a channel whose announcer has no trace of a British accent and doesn't use the spelling "honourable". Snooker, really?

You don't have a perfect game thrown by average pitchers, but they're also not thrown with a crumby ball club behind them either.

JosephJamesScott that is debatable, because Dallas Braden was an average pitcher at best. And remember Armando Gallaraga from the Detroit Tigers has his perfect game ruined by an umpire??? He was by all accounts an average pitcher as well.
Didn't Dallas have his career cut short due to injuries? Hard to say how good he would have been if he'd had a full career, and as for Armando Gallaraga, the dude did have flashes of greatness, 2008 he was almost rookie of the year, and in 2010 Detroit was a .500 ball club that year and if baseball ran the playoffs like most sports (16 team playoff) they'd probably have made the secondary season.
Good points though, when both those guys got (or nearly got) their perfect games they were probably average pitchers.
yea, It's the ball boy who should get the credit.....
5 goals in a hockey game.
To this day Mario Lemieux is the only player to accomplish this in five different situations (even strength, power play, penalty kill, penalty shot and empty net)
I can't believe this wasn't even mentioned in the list.
Make that 2. Mika Zibanejad
In the NHL I would put Darryl Sittler 10 Point game ahead of that give that there are no 9 point game
Sorry +WatchMojo.com...the toughest single game accomplishment to do in sports is what Mario Lemieux did on December 31, 1988. Mario became the only player in NHL history to score a goal in the only 5 possible game situations. He scored a power play goal, a short-handed goal, a regular goal, a penalty shot goal and an empty-netter. Marking the only time in NHL history before and after to be done...
I'm shocked it was left off the list. It's so hard to do because it involves a penalty shot, and then again requires the game to still be close enough for the goaltender to get pulled. Scoring a powerplay goal, even strength goal and a shorthanded goal in the same game is hard enough. But throw in having to be awarded a penalty shot AND on the ice when there is an empty net? You'd need a notebook to even try and figure out how unlikely it is.
He did the even strength, power-play and short-handed goals all in the 1st period...
jack marcum I think you misunderstood what I said.
I'm saying it's hard enough to score at even strength, on the powerplay, and shorthanded all in the same game. But for the 5 goals in 5 ways THAT PLAYER needs to be awarded the penalty shot (and score on it) AND be on the ice when there's the empty net.
I'm 1000% agreeing with you that the 5 goals in 5 ways was cheated off the list. :)
..I knew what you meant...I was just stating that in that game Mario did 3 of those goals in the 1st period...which is awesome to think he had a hat trick before the 1st period ended...
i'm glad we know that this is by far the toughest thing to do in a single game!!!
5 goals in 5 different ways? Only Mario Lemieux has ever done that and there is next to no chance that someone will repeat it. Not even the Great One could do it.
Oh man I see someone has really great knowledge in sports. I guess basketball, soccer and golf are all also the "EXACT SAME" thing right?
Oh man bet you even needed to google which ways are there to shoot a goal. And what does the amount of points have to do with the way that they are scored? In basketball all points are scored the exact same way. By throwing the ball. The exact same thing counts for ice hockey. Don't know what you are talking about. Why should the amount of credit you get for scoring have anything to do with the way you are scoring? Makes no sence
Because it is rare and difficult to achieve....which is the point of this whole video.
D Junker I wonder why 5 goals in 5 different ways is an unlockable achievement in NHL 14?
steve b you clearly don't know anything about hockey.
Anyone else think the MLB should just give Galarraga his perfect game?
N Jackson is that the guy who lost it due to the bad call then the team bought him a ferrari?
He got screwed. But he showed class afterward. He shook the guy's hand and even defended him to the media.
Absolutely. Give it an asterisk even. But give him the game, get it in the record book.
Even more so retroactively now, because with today's rules that would have been a perfect game cut, dried and obvious because of instant replay.
Yes they should.
What about all 10 wickets in a game of cricket. Happened only twice in 130 years of international cricket
You mean all ten in the innings - 10 over two innings isn't that rare. But all 10 in one innings is very rare.
What about 300+ in test cricket or 200+ in 50 over cricket
baseball is boring af
mauro pereira ikr
Yet there the highest paid athletes
wrong soccer got the highest paid athletes but also boxing
It is the most boring sport I have ever watched. I honestly can't understand how people can sit for so long watching static players as just ONE of the tries to hit a ball with a stick.
No they're not. There isn't a single baseball player amongst the highest paid athletes in the world. The first one is in like the 30th position.
Quadruple-double in basketball.
Hat-trick is common. 4 or 5 goals for one player in single match is rare and thougher.
Firat Abuleyla hattrick aren't common. there was only one hattrick in ucl last year and that was from one of the best players around here. cr7
Did you watched Copa America Centenario?, Eduardo Vargas Scored 4 goals during the Match Chile vs México, The match finished with an incredible 7-0
+Cow Games Of course in UCL players are not gonna score a hat trick. It's the best teams in Europe playing each other, what did you think would happen? But when Barcelona or Real plays in La Liga then the hat tricks are very common.
Slorm Raptor watch the Lewandowski show
did someone say score 5 goals in a champions league match?
A sub four in a mile is insanely difficult to achieve, only olympic type athletes have ever been able to do, hat tricks in soccer aren't uncommon whatsoever.
Edit: Lewandowski scored *5* goals in 9 minutes.
But even college runners are getting four minute miles
People run sub 4 minute miles all the time...it's nothing special...it was given a lot of hype because an Englishman did it....How about winning every race for 12 years like hurdler Edwin Moses did?
literally EVERY professional miler has to be at LEAST 6 seconds faster than the 4 minute mile to even qualify for any serious race (world championships, Olympics, major meets) in the equivalent metric mile. It's not even on the same level as any of these other feats. It's like dunking in basketball... if you can do it, it means nothing. If you can't... you may not even be a pro runner.
Anybody who says a 4 minute mile isn’t the most difficult thing by far on this list and certainly says it’s common obviously knows absolutely nothing about distance running
They're approaching the 8 minute two mile. I'm a runner and love the 4 minute mile, but it's ridiculous to call this rare.
A Hole in One on a par 4 is by far the rarest/most difficult task. Golf has been played for well over 100 years and there’s only 1 ever recorded in professional golf.
There's always that one golfer that shows up and argues that "golf is the hardest".
A perfect game might not be as statistically rare as a par 4 hole in one (though it could be because I'm unable to determine the number of professional rounds of golf every played), it is WAY too dependent on luck to call it "more difficult". If you can hit the distance, just keep hitting it until you get a hole in one. Play enough rounds on that course, and it'll happen even if you suck. A perfect game, or a hat trick, or most of the things on the list, have virtually no luck involved at all. There is absolutely no luck in a pitcher and the team behind him getting 27 outs in a row with no one making it to first base. You can't just keep trying and eventually get that. Either you and the team is good enough, or you aren't.
perfect game, been done over twenty times. 100 point game done just once.... nah perfect games harder
-Watch Mojo 2016
Dylan Reddekopp the reason that perfect game is above 100 point game, rightfully so, is because in a perfect game you have to have 10 people be perfectly coordinated and on top of there game for at least an hour and a half
homerun for the cycle has been done 0 times in pro history. 178 hattirkcs only in the la liga and hattrick still harder
100 point game --> many talented pros got close to it but distributed the ball better while wilt was where the ball ended in his team during the 100 point game. Plus wilt had many advantages -- no 3 second rule, jumping over the freethrow line after throwing a shot from the ft line was allowed, etc. However, it is damn impressive to have 100 poitns without a 3 pt shot. But keep in mind, his teammates passed the ball to him for him to score which is easier than having to defend the ball that may change courses due to ground pavings, wind, etc in baseball.
Perfect game is harder as pitchers get more pressure on their arms only by pitching 9 innings. But to make none of them step a base is at least 100 times harder. Your teammates have to contribute and need to catch all the balls and cannot have any errors. You also have to be an extremly dominant pitcher or a pitcher with no information as baseball is a predictable game when it comes to pitching and your job is to either trick them or throw the ball at a weird tempo so that their predictions may be right but the timing will be wrong. Also you have to have the perfect aim that night as 4 balls = a walk which ruins your perfect game. No-hitter is already damn hard but think of a perfect game where no errors or walks may occur.
That's not true. Carlos Gomez of the Texas Rangers hit a homerun for the cycle THIS YEAR.
There are only like 18 perfect games
How about Mario Lemieux scoring 5 goals in 5 different ways? (powerplay, shorthanded, 5 on 5, penalty shot, empty net) - not even mentioning scoring 5 goals in a game itself is very difficult.
I literally shot down to the comments after seeing the number 1 to just be like... "Hey, what about Lemieux"? Glad I'm not alone (despite being a little late)
5 in one game? Hah! Robert Lewandowski once did it in 9 minutes!
K the 100 points should be ahead of the perfect game. I don't see 6 basketball players getting 100 point games in 7 years any time soon.
The problem is that it has been done to infrequently that no one strives for it. This is also why i believe they left out the ten point game scored in hockey. If only one person has done it, sure it's a hell of an accomplishment, but it would fit better in the category of record
Ben Schneiderheinze The list is called "the toughest acccomplishments in a single game" Therefore, ranking them on their difficulty. If 100 points isn't even attempted, its because its ridiculously difficult. People go for perfect games, they do. That shows that its not as insurmountable as 100 points, therefore should be ranked lower on the list.
I agree that the 100 point game is a better achievement than the perfect game, but it is so different from all the rest on the list. Most of the rest (disregard triple play and scoring goal as goalie) are seen as things that put you into an elite club in that sport. It's hard to have an elite club with just one person. I am not saying that the 100 point game is a bad achievement, I'm just saying that because only one person has achieved it, it doesn't really fit with the others.
Ben Schneiderheinze It doesn't really matter. Its about what is most difficult to do in a single game and you just said it.
Not a fan of the single game achievements like the 100 point game. It's not something like the hat trick, unassisted triple play, perfect game, etc.
I think the the hardest thing in sports is running a 1 minute mile. It's so fast nobody has even done it yet. That's impressive.
Shoutout to Armondo Galaragga of the Detroit Tigers for the "28 batter" perfect game.
Why not 27? What happened? Seriously.
@@darrenmeservia5578 on the final "out"the ump blew the call on a grounder. He should've been out but was called safe
@Zachary Alger
What a drag! Reminds me of Kelly Gruber's(Blue Jays 3B, 90's) unassisted (if memory serves) Triple-Play in the World Series in 92 or 93. The Base-Ump missed the tag and blew the play! Man, did that suck! Check it out if you've never seen it. Thanks for answering my original question! Peace!
Or maybe '93, '94... it's been a long time. LoLz!
One of the back-to-back years the Jays Won it all!
I'm sure they just wanted to feature as many sports as possible, but there could definitely be more things from baseball on this list. 20 strikeouts, hitting for the cycle, the 5-4-3 triple play, the no-hitter, inside-the-park homer, 4 homers in a game.. All of these are harder or more rare than some things on this list.
I agree, I was thinking where is the no hitter, I nearly saw one in person
CoBeX31 same
CoBeX31 inside the park homer should have been there, no sense in having no hitter when you have perfect game. Hitting for the cycle is another big one. They could do one of these for each of the 5 major sports (soccer, football, hockey, basketball, and baseball) and still have some pretty cool lists
You could say that about most sports though.
4 homers in a game should be on this list. it's been done less times than most of the things on this list.
In football a "perfect hattrick" is more rare, this is 3 goals scored with your Right, Left feet and a header
matt wallace football
matt wallace Football
Googar12 I scored one of those in my last football match before leaving the club. It felt good :D
Interesting- thank you for this information! :)
A hattrick in football is so rare, that Ronaldo and Messi each had a season which they had 10 hat tricks in it. So rare right?
Tom Bekhor two of the best players in history only had 10 out of probably 2000 games played? Thats .2% sooo yeah pretty rare.
+Philip Nessi they have multiple hat Tricks in each of The Last 5-6 seasons
Tom Bekhor i read that wrong, but still. Out of all games played in the premier league it's still a fairly rare occcurance.
Tom Bekhor They are exemptions... Those 2 are a level beyond everyone, arguably the best in history.
Tina Burton that's your opinion dude. Stop commenting that.
Fernando Tatis. Two grand slams in one inning.
An 8 RBI inning... not too shabby!
Might never happen again
That is HUGE
How about Johnny Vander Meer back 2 back No Hitters
That may not happen again. Any level of baseball.
I thought forsure this would be number one. Hopped on comments to express disappointment and seen you beat me to it!
A golden set in tennis. 24 straight points without losing 1. Hardly ever happens.
m ray z no
LAME!
It's harder to get a hat trick than a hole in one??
It's WatchMojo. They're retarded.
Yeah that is pretty stupid. Personally I think the quadruple double is the harest to do. If one player for a team takes almost all the teams shots, 100 points is easy especially with three pointers. But a quadruple double is sheer dominance in all phases of a single basketball game. Clearly it's harder to do than any of these other things as it's only happened 4 times.
Holes in one are pretty common. I've talked to several semi-professional golfers who have had them.
Hat tricks in soccer are rare because the game is so incredibly dull and ANY scoring is rare.
@@EtzEchad speak for yourself the game is dull for you*
@@deandrenicholas2545 nah the 100 points should not count since it really isn't a thing compared to the quadruple double which getting double digits in points blocks steals rebounds and assists or an unassigned triple play where you get 3 people out at once by yourself
How about scoring 4 goals in there first competitive debut (Austin Matthews did it yesterday)
And the Leafs still lost!!!
That's why I clicked on this video
Its "their"
+Suu Asalef ikr
I agree
Update this please! Now there have been 24 perfect games thrown in MLB history!
100 point NBA game will never happen again.
Maybe one team will let someone score 100 or more on purpose like last game or something
I think the final score was 169-143. Defense wasn't a priority back then, except on the Celtics, with Bill Russell. The opponent was the Knicks, who were the worst team in the league. Wilt AVERAGED 50.4 points per game that season. Wilt was the worst foul shooter in NBA history, (50.6% or thereabouts), but that night he hit 28 out of 32 free throws. (He shot his free throws underhanded with two hands) ...But here's something else...Wilt once scored 60 points in ONE QUARTER of a HIGH SCHOOL basketball game (they only play 8 minute quarters in NY State...I don't know wht htey did in Pennsylvania when he was young.....he mentioed it in his book.!)
+Joe Marshall Fun fact: Wilt only averages 22.5 ppg in the playoffs for his career. In the season that he recorded 50.4 ppg, he "merely" had 35 ppg out of 12 postseason games. Though his rebounding remains consistently high.
Joe Marshall ”In a high school game in 1955, Chamberlain had scored 90 points in a 123-21 victory. The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, "Chamberlain might have hit 100 if he had played the entire 32 minutes."
Speaking of Perfect Games, Armando Gallaraga (or however you spell it). How many of you still feel bad for that guy?
Aaron Denson you know a 28 out perfect game is even rarer. Because only one pitcher has thrown one of those...
I thought the same thing. I was gonna say that not only do the teammates have to be sharp, but so do the refs.
I also feel bad for the ump that blew that call.
8:31 am i the only one who said wtf out loud? lol
no
What a joke. It's an opinion based scoring system...
They're still just opinions. All the other feats here actually happened. Empirically. Perfect 10 is subjective, and doesn't belong on this list.
no she did something virtually impossible
Wait. Did you actually say "W-T-F" out loud, or did you say "What the fuck" out loud?! :o)
Gale Sayers scoring 6 TDs in a game is pretty damn awesome. And did it in four different ways. Rushing, Receiving, Kickoff and Punt return.
#FACTS......awesome and legendary
Its strange not to have scoring 300 runs in a test innings even mentioned but it's an insult to cricket and Brian Lara that scoring 400 runs in an international test innings not even mentioned. Its happened ONCE in almost 150 years
cricket's dumb
Cricket definitely needed to be mentioned more. What of Brian Lara's 300 test runs...or hitting 6 sixes in an over?
yah had to scroll down and see if someone would mention cricket ... the 300 in a test is big (only done 30 times), 400 by lara is insane. The determination, endurance, and skill required to achieve such a feat deserves recognition. This list is certainly an american list.
Because people don't understand what that even means, the world population can understand scoring 3 goals or 100 points but only cricket fans know cricket terms
Cricket is the second most widely followed sport in the world
Scoring a goal 5 different ways in a hockey game. Only ever done once by Mario Lemieux. Didn't even make the top 10...????
What do you mean by 5 different ways?
TheSuperNES Glitcher ik but perfect game is up there and hat trick but cycle and yours isn't up there
That's a very tough one to do but I think it's too situational in order to be on the list. I think there's too many variables since you can't call a penalty shot i'ts so situational. It's still very cool achievement but I think it's too "speacial" in a way.
yeah wasn't really like type of performance they were looking for. so would the 3 goals in 33 seconds or whatever
Thank you. Was irritated not to see this on the list at all. Deserved to be there more than at least 7 of them.
How was the cycle for baseball not in there?
1) It isn't that special.
2) Baseball sucks.

1). You're dumb
2). Baseball is the best

The cycle in baseball. Player gets a single, double, triple and home run in a single game.
Immaculate inning: stricking out 3 batters with 9 pitches
most male olympic and even many college male runners can now complete a 4 minute mile. So for the average fit individual a 4 minute mile is difficult, but at this point, almost all professional male runners can run a 4 minute mile.
danglezbenderz true I feel like it was in there because of the history of it.
It's in there because no female runners have done it yet.
***** and most likely never will. The closest anyone has gotten is 4:12 and that was 15 years ago.
Shhh the feminists will find you
danglezbenderz That's what they said about a woman completing stage one of Amercian Ninja Warrior Finals. Guess what, it was done this year. Never say never, but I do agree that it probably won't happen in THIS generation.
Ive scored a hattrick as a goalie... When I was seven but still cool tho
im assuming in soccer
I pitched a perfect game and had three nine pitch innings in that game when I was twelve. Another time later on that season I had an unassisted triple play also.
My son pitched a 6 inning, 1 walk, no-hitter in 6th grade little league and lost! The catcher literally could not catch the ball. My son struck out the first 17 batters. Then walked a kid on a 3-2 pitch. The catcher missed the next two balls and the runner advanced to second, then third. On the next pitch, the catcher (the coach's son...you would have thought he's send someone else in there to catch) missed it again. My son went home to cover, and the catcher threw it wild! In the bottom of the inning, my son led off with a triple that he had a chance of stretching to a HR, but he played it safe. The next three batters struck out, stranding my son. Game over 1-0. The other catcher could catch.
Jonas Sherman I threw an immaculate game I struck out all 27 batters on 3 pitches each. I also hit 10 grand slams that same game with 40 RBIs. Then the next day I got 9 unassisted Triple plays as well as 19 stolen bases. Then a week later I robed 30 home runs. We played a 10 inning game. But the most amazing thing is my last game pitching I pitched a 100,000 inning no hitter. The only guy who reached was on an error. And get this. The guy who made the error was the umpire!!!! I know right!!!
Oh and get this. The guy scored so I lost the game. The guy who scored was the mascot as well! Craziest week ever!
Bonus points for throwing the perfect game while on acid.
1924: Marie Boyd scored 156 points in a full HS game
1982: Cheryl Miller scored 105 points in a full HS game.
1990: Lisa Leslie scored 101 points in 16 minutes of a HS basketball game. She would have scored more if the other team came out of the locker room after halftime.
2006: Epiphanny Prince scored 113 points in a full HS game.
Fastest Hattrick in Hockey: Bill Mosienko, 27 seconds.
Most shorthanded goals scored in a single hockey game: Theoren Fleury, 3.
You missed hit for the cycle in baseball/ softball
Then there was the collegiate softball player that hit a homerun cycle: grand slam, 3 run homer, 2 run homer, and a solo shot. Only person to ever do that.
Home run cycle should’ve been on here
Mighty Gerot huh? Do you mean 4 home runs in a game?
Choppy 36 a solo, 2 run, 3 run, and a grand slam all in one game by a single player
Mighty Gerot oohhh I see, thank you for explaining!
#7 does not apply to messi or Ronaldo, these guys just score for fun.

Yep, does not apply to Messi or Ronaldo. For them, scoring is as easy as eating dinner.
5 goals in 9 minute, Robert Lewandovsky
Probably the Single best Football Moment in the last 20 years.
Butz MN nah mate, that’s AGUEROOOOO
Not single player performance...
a baseball perfect game may indeed be number one - but they failed to mention a guy named Harvey Haddix who pitched 12 perfect innings against the best hitting team at the time (Milwaukee Braves) - and lost the game!!! THIS is by far the most impressive pitching performance in baseball history.
Hell yeah! I never knew about that performance but pitching 12 innings, let alone 12 perfect innings before losing is unheard of.
wow, the rest of his team really failed him there
another interesting side note to this game; "Some years later, Milwaukee's Bob Buhl revealed that the Braves pitchers had been stealing signs from Pittsburgh catcher Smoky Burgess, who was exposing his hand signals due to a high crouch. From their bullpen, Braves pitchers repeatedly repositioned a towel to signal for a fastball or a breaking ball, the only two pitches Haddix used in the game."
phishfearme2 Disregard my reply on another comment then. I didn't know that
pitching a 100 gamescore in baseball is even more rare then a perfect game
Thank you for calling it football and not stupid soccer
Soccer is the best name for the sport

5 on 5, Powerplay, Shorthanded, empty net, penalty shot.

@@Holymakinaw - No one else has ever done all the different ways of scoring a goal, either, so I'm not sure why you think it's "much more impressive." Each is a singular accomplishment.

Hat tricks being harder than a goalie goal? You’re mad!
Scoring 100 points in the NBA should have been number 1.
#7, i work for the local news paper sports section, we had 3 soccer hat tricks in a week from a college team
also with the perfect series in bowling my father in law has 3, and my wifes uncles have a combined 15 (6 people)
They forgot averaging a triple double for a season
Toughest SINGLE GAME accomplishment. NOT season. They made that very clear...
Mario Lemieux scoring every way possible in a single game is pretty crazy. Although it doesn’t belong on this list a Gordon Howe hat trick is my favorite single game achievement

Isac H No no no no. I don't play hockey or golf but will still get a hole in one first
Isac H hitting a ball with a stick vs running around and actual physical contact and smashing a ball past a goalie three times
Yeah golf is harder
a double eagle is rarer
Ohh yeah
Taking all 10 wickets in a cricket game. Just a few times over past 100 years. Should have been on the list as top 3.

Even a hatrick could be promoted up the list at international level but it’s an American channel not much is understood unfortunately.
@@SeeWhyAt yea can you explain a hat trick in cricket for me please
Ajaa Yah Getting 3 people out in 3 consecutive balls. Compared to Baseball it doesn’t sound impressive but in international levels most teams are able to face up to 600 balls before switching innings.
Twice actually Jim Laker in 1956 and Anil Kumble in 98.
Mario Lemieux scoring in every possible way (power play, short-handed, full strength, penalty shot, and empty net) in a single hockey game was quite impressive as well as these.
It is not Rare to score a hat-trick clearly you don't know football / Soccer
TheBroGamers a hat trick at the world cup
In hockey too hat tricks happen more often.
The title of this video is “toughest”, not rarest. It’s tough (unless you’re running circles around the other team)
I'm pretty sure a lot of kids have scored hat tricks in football, and hat tricks in cricket and rugby are as hard, if not harder, than in football
It's harder for one in hockey
Whoever's reading this, tear it up on the dance floor.
Hell, yeah.
I'mma shake my ass and rub my titties around jamming to Deuce and Ronnie Radke.
Deuce
I’m scratching my head wondering why a batter “Hitting the Cycle” wasn’t on this list.
codo114 It’s about as rare as a no-hitter.
Those happen a lot, at least compared to what's on this list.
Immaculate inning: striking out 3 batters with 9 pitches
Hockey, five goals, five different ways. Happened only once to my knowledge. Perfect games are indeed a rare accomplishment, but there's been 20+ of those.
that's like saying hitting 6 home runs in a game counts too
what about 4 home runs in one game by one player in baseball?
That's a good one...who was it? Another one....back in '07, Tom Brady had more TD passes in a game than incomplete passes. 6 td's, 5 inc's.....during a snowstorm.....
Well that's never even happened in the MLB. So yeah I'd say it's pretty rare Samuel Fewer.
steve b I don't disagree. I was clearly being sarcastic lol. The only home run cycle at the professional level was in minor league baseball by Tyrone Horne, who stroked four long balls for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers in a game against the San Antonio missions on July 27, 1998. It's been done a few times at the collegiate level though.
Back to back home runs in an inning.
What about a quintuple double? It's so hard that no one has ever recorded one at the professional or collegiate level. There are rumors that Wilt Chamberlain had one, but blocks and steals weren't recorded back then and no footage of said game has ever been uncovered. The only ones ever recorded were by Tamika Catchings and Aimee Oertner, two high school players. Still, there is no footage of these games.
I think a Perfect Hat Trick in football is better than an actual hat trick. The difference for those who don't know, is that a goal must be with the right foot, another with the left foot and one with a header. That is way less common or a bicycle kick goal, which is incredible to see as well as rare even in top leagues.
20 strikeout game? There have only been 5 of those in mlb history
And my boy Max Scherzer has one of them
Kerry Wood a cubbie did it
Matthew 4 goal at is first NHL game , first 3 shots he made were goal ! That a real accomplishment
Lewandowski 5 goals in 9 minutes?
Your sports videos are excellent. Very well produced and put together. Keep them coming.
What about Mario Lemieux scoring in the five ways possible in hockey penalty shot, even strength,power play empty net and short handed
Darryl Sittler's 6 goal/10 point game is much more impressive, and he's the only NHLer to ever do it.
What about Shoot-out Goals now?
@@darrenmeservia5578 They don't count as goals in player stats. Besides, if you score an empty-net goal, it more than likely eliminates the need for a shoot-out.
tygrkhat40 Point taken.
Try scoring four goals in your NHL debut, like Auston Matthews did last night. He made history.
A hatrick in cricket is waaaaaaaay tougher than in football. Also could have had a triple century in there.
Forget triple century, scoring 300 as a team total itself is tough.
James Fenner very few people in this comment section know cricket's rules and stuff. I'm one of those people
how about picking all 10 wickets? happened only twice. smh
Vinit Singh what about a royal duck? Pre damn rare, can only happen at the beginning of every game
How about 500 in on test innings or the elusive beaver trick (4 wickets in a row).
You'd guys didn't considered cricket's rarest 6 sixes in an over and 10 wickets in a single innings......both of which are a lot more difficult and rare than most of these achievements in this list.💁🏻♂️
Harvey Haddix: 12 Perfect innings. Marshall McDougall: 6 home runs in a single game.
What about a albatross in golf. (3 under par on a hole)
that is indeed insanely difficult.
Well a hole in one on a par 4 would be an albatross
@@ChestyBPuller I'd rather shooting a 59 be a good single game achievement, rarely happens, that's for sure.
You mean a double eagle?
Not sure if it is a single game accomplishment but Eddie Hall's 500kg deadlift is unmatched. As in no one else has come close. He is the only person on a planet of 7 billion llus people to ever achieve this feat. That is pretty incredible
#FACTS
Care to notice, if you will, that a hat trick was a term used by a Toronto hatmaker when he would give a free hat to any player who scored three goals in a hockey game
Interesting. I actually was wondering where the phrase originated. Thanks.
Thanks 4 the fun fact....didn't know that
The first time it was used was in cricket en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat-trick
I appreciate an American channel calling football football and not soccer
They're Canadian
Mario Lemieux is the only player in NHL history to score 5 goals in 5 different ways in one game (full strength, power play, short handed, penalty shot and open net)
Triple hundred in Test Cricket, double hat-trick (4 wickets in 4 balls) also in Cricket. 6 6's in an over in cricket. Try to remember there are sports played outside the US which the US isn't the main player in.
I can understand your point but watchmojo is Canadian based. So you cant blame America
Fair - but still North American biased - and Canadian's generally are more worldly than American so no excuse.
@@sithlordofoz damn.....so true.
Ima shut my American mouth, I have no comeback. Well said sir!
10 wickets in a test innings.. Just happened twice in over a century of test cricket.
@@neonmanas5568 I once hired a guy for an IT job because when I asked him what his greatest accomplishment was, he said taking all 10 wickets in an innings in an A grade game.
Austin Matthews scored 4 goals in his NHL debut for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2016-17 season, the only hockey player in Pro hockey to ever do it.
Lots of players have 4 goal games
Randy Johnson's perfect game is unrivaled because he did it during the steroid era.
what about don Larsen's in game 5 of the 1956 world sereies
He could've been juicing himself, though. I'm not accusing him, just that it's a non-trivial possibility.
Compucles who Larsen he was average Joe pitcher if he did juice he would have a better era and besides that was during the golden age of baseball before steroids was a thing

Did you see your name in my comment? No, so I wasn't replying to you. I was referring to Randy Johnson as mentioned in the original comment of this thread.
Does everybody forget the only pitcher to throw more than 3 No-nonsense (perfect game) is Nolan Ryan, with 7 under r his belt?
How is a perfect game harder the 100 points in the NBA... 1 time vs 23 times
A TRUE perfect game is 81 pitches, meaning 27 strikeouts. They just didn't bother doing much research.
jackson reilly not what a true perfect game is. Technically that would be an immaculate game Bc if it’s one inning it’s an immaculate inning
Scoring 100 points in a basketball I feel is more impressive than a perfect game. Only 1 person has ever done it!!
Not as rare statistically though.
Thanks for explaining what a hole in one is. I had no idea it was getting it in the hole....in one shot
They forgot the cycle in baseball
cant tell if you're joking or not but why would they choose the cycle over a perfectly pitched game? I would add getting 20 strike outs in a game by a single pitcher before I would add the cycle in my eyes that's way tougher considering only 3 pitchers have ever done it
Steroid cycle?
@@rudy1999 hitting a single, double, triple and a home run in a single game
Came here to say that
They didn't even put the cycle in the top 10.
A cycle in baseball I think deserves to be on here
How many times do we have to tell you old man!!
I just read that in you're voice
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man!
Darryl sittler 10 point game
I cant believe this didn't make the list!
A perfect game definitely deserves to be #1. Not only do you have to play at Max performance but you rely alot on your teammates not screwing up. The pitcher may get the credit but it is definitely a team effort.
a hatrick in football is not as rare as it once was, actually its not even considered something amazing anymore. Messi and ronaldo seem to get hatricks like nothing
Me: how is anything more difficult than a 100 point game?
Also me: how is anything harder than a perfect game?
Have you heard of the immaculate inning? That is harder than the perfect game, and it is in the same sport.
A lacrosse goalie getting a shut out in a game. Now that's pretty hard
Alex Yverr lacrosse takes no skill
explain.
steven kuders its all fun and games and until someone asks for an explanation you fucking dumbass
Tina Burton are you dumb
steven kuders says someone who probably had no athletic ability what so ever
