Watching The Last of Us, it struck me that 20 years of sports records never occurred in the TV Universe. Here is what came to mind;
Since the start date is September 2003, first and foremost the Curse of the Bambino is never broken and the Boston Red Sox never again win a World Series. Of course, The Black Sox and Billy Goat curses for the Chicago White Sox and Cubs are also never broken.
Barry Bonds never eclipses Hank Aaron's home run record.
Tom Brady never becomes the Quarterback GOAT as his only Super Bowl victory is in 2001.

| Don't kick it to Hester... Don't kick it to Hester... Don't kick it to Hester... Kicks it to Hester And there he goes! |
Lebron James never plays a single NBA game. (His NBA debut was a month after the outbreak).
Serena and Venus Williams never become to of the greatest Women's Tennis Players of all time.
No one ever knows the names of Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps in Olympic history.
The 2004-05 NHL lockout never happens. Alex Ovechkin drafted #1 overall in 2004, never plays in the NHL, nor complies 814 goals and counting as he looks to surpass Wayne Gretzky.
The Rock never makes a transition from WWE to billion dollar Movie stardom.
Tiger Woods never rebounds from his 2003 slump and we never learn about his self-destructive philandering.
Of course, thousands of other compelling matches and illustrious careers never occur and no one ever knows about them.
