In every other sport -- every other human endeavor -- it is implicitly understood and accepted that progress has been made in the past 50 years. Except in baseball, where the crotchety Guardians of the Game seem to think that the last truly great player pre-dated color film.
If you can't appreciate the greatness of Junior, you should not identify yourself as a baseball fan. I don't think any of his contemporaries in center field have half that many homeruns.
Actually ... on second thought ... two-fitty is more than half of 499!
