In response to "to repeat myself, it's recognizing that different set of circumstances rule different numbers." by Reagen

I'm fine with that. Will is recognizing some differences, but not others, just cause he wants Ichiro to have a record, but not Oh.

that's silly.

Rose has the MLB hits record.
Ichiro has the professional hit record.
Bonds has the MLB HR record.
Oh has the professional HR record.

see?

Responses:

It's all about legitimacy. I don't consider Oh's to be as weighty/comparable to Aaron/Bonds for the reasons discussed. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:33
What he is saying, I believe, is that not all those records would carry equal legitimacy. -- nm - TFox Jun 5, 09:32 14
- If that's what he's saying, great. But he specifically discounted Oh's professional record. (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:33 2
  - And now he's repeated that point 3 times, so I'm fairly sure that he doens't consider them all legit. (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:34 1
    - right, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the record. he does. it's on wikipedia. i can look it up and see that. - TFox Jun 5, 09:36
- Right. Zero people have suggested giving him the MLB record. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:33 10
  - No Will thinks that there is a "professional hits" record that Ichiro should own. But Oh can't be the "professional" HR record holder. - musubi Jun 5, 09:36 9
    - He can be the pro HR leader, I can think that's a less meaningful record. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:38
    - no, he *is* the record holder. but the record is less meaningful than the other record. -- nm - TFox Jun 5, 09:37 7
      - That's nonsense. Either it's a legit record or it's not. - musubi Jun 5, 09:39 6
        
        Barry Bonds as MLB HR leader is exactly as legit as Hank Aaron was. yes or no? - Reagen Jun 5, 09:41 5
        
        Yes. Bonds is the HR record holder. (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:41 3
        
        Do you find yourself actually having the same level of caring for 762 as you do 755? - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:45 2
        
        like, here's the thing - I didn't actually know what Bonds' #s, but I still know 755. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:46
        
        I don't care about either all that much. They're records. - musubi Jun 5, 09:46
        
        win -- nm - TFox Jun 5, 09:41
