Agreed. But there is no point in the radio guy talking bad about Bobby
Thigpen just because he did not have a stellar fifteen year career. A
season record is a season record.

Every sport is unique and different from every other sport. The unique
thing about baseball is that they play a ton of games and a good player
plays a ton of seasons. Statistics matter in baseball moreso than in any
other sport.

Bobby Thigpen set the MLB record and he held the record for a while and
radio talk people should not talk bad about him just because he had a short
career and never got to be famous.
