We know he got those hits. Those hits are as real and as valid as any other. But they're not MLB hits. If you count those, you count Oh's HRs too. - musubi Jun 5, 09:16 11
- Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 09:21
- "it's that simple." What we're saying is, maybe it's not. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:18 9
  - How is it not that simple? Would a goal scored in Eastern Europe count to the NHL scoring record? - musubi Jun 5, 09:32 8
    - the stats could eventually be compared (with a lot more work than baseball) - Reagen Jun 5, 09:34 7
      - So your answer then is no, right? (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:36 6
        
        This is apples and oranges where the hits discussion is Red Delicious vs Fuji. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:39 5
        
        Will's solution is counting all the Red Delicious and the Fuji's together. (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:43 4
        
        Actually, I've done enough rough calcs to show you why his #'s should vary within reason. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:46
        
        (because they are apples.) -- nm - TFox Jun 5, 09:43 2
        
        But not Gala and Granny Smiths! - musubi Jun 5, 09:45 1
        
        Or ripened vs any apple. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:47
