I don't care all that much about any of these individual records or milestones. The 62nd home run, the 248th strikeout ... I was listening to the Yankees game when Willy Adames broke the Brewers' single-season home run record ... for a shortstop. Baseball immortality. The fan who caught the ball should hold on to it and sell it at a later date for $20.
All impressive accomplishments in their own right, I just don't personally get all jazzed up about tracking the moment when it happens, stopping the game, saving the ball, etc.
This article is more of an indictment of what Sports Illustrated has become, dragged down by its own earnestness, unable to adjust to the modern world of sports reporting.
A bunch of SI writers explaining to me their opinions regarding the single-season home run record.
As if their opinion counts more than anyone else's.
As if their opinion counts more than Roger Maris Jr.'s opinion.
MLB doesn't need to do anything, actually.
If people want to ignore the PED records of Bonds and the other two, they may do so.
