Yeah but that's not like a big time well known record.

One record, that is very reachable, but, will probably not only never be broken, its not even being challenged.

Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak in 1941
since 1978, no one has even come close to Pete Roses 44
and since 1987, no one has broke Paul Molitors 39
hell, its been 9 years since Jimmy Rollins got to 38

only 4 people have broke 30 since 2000

Molitor has gone on record a number of times, the media attention was HORRIBLE, in 1987 and he was glad when it was over.

no ones breaking 56

Encarnacion passed the halfway mark tonight!

You know a record is impressive when a player deserves praise for getting halfway there.

I dunno if I'd go that far, but with the way pass-first offenses have come to dominate and the way RBs' careers have shrunk over the past 15 years, it'd be hard to see someone sniffing 15k much less 18k.
I'm inclined to agree with you, but we're also only a couple of years removed from a 2K season, so I don't think we're there just yet.
True, but every member of the 2000-yard club had a tremendous drop the next year:

Dickerson - 900 yards (16/14)
Lewis - 1000 yards (16/12)
Peterson - 800 yards (16/14)
Sanders - 600 yards (16/16)
Davis - 1800 (16/4)
Johnson - 700 (16/16)
OJ - 900 (14/14)

All numbers approximate; in parentheses are the number of games in the 2000-yard season vs the next one. That kind of rushing wears you down, even more so theses days. I'd like to crunch theses numbers more (Include 1800+ yard rushers, look at total touches, yards per attempt, etc), but I stand by my initial assessment. Dickerson's record, on the other hand, could certainly fall.
My point is that even with pass-happy offenses, there still is room for great rushers to put up big time stats.
