Records in popular culture are based on totals.

We talk about career hits or career HRs, or single season hits or HRs, not avg hits or avg HRs per season, or per game, etc.

Let’s just talk about records. There will never ever be a basketball player that ends up with a three season avg of 44.2 PPG. It is possible that another woman could come along at some point and do what Clark has done.

Except baseball and football scoring hasn't changed. A run is still 1. the strike zone is the strike zone. A TD is still 6 points. A FG is still 3. But basketball instituted the shot clock and the 3 point line. So you are comparing 3 years to 4 years and 2 pointers to 3 pointers. So FACTUALLY Pete's record can't be broken. They can pretend it was. But it wasn't unless you just count 3 years and you only count 2 pt shots. With the 3 and with the current shot clock Pete probably averages 60 ppg.

wtf pretty sure "batting average" is a pretty big deal, a much bigger deal than "hits in a season" in fact. ERA, same deal. In football, they always talk about ypc or passing completion percentage (although the totals are used as well of course). I could go on.
