From hitting a baseball to quadruple-doubles in the NBA, from rare NFL rules to golf’s "condor," from no-hitters to bunts that score two runs, from passing records to no-hitters at 44, from 200-point seasons to 815 career starts, these are the 12 feats in sports that almost nobody alive can pull off.
