re: Is the all time home run record really the most prestigious record in sports?

Yeah, but I wasn't talking about noteworthiness. As a basketball fan and student of pro ball history, and what I'm given to understand about Wilt and that era, I view the record differently. It's very very impressive of course. But there's aslo a quality of quirkiness too, it's an oddity, a product of a strange transitional era with the right guy in the right place at the right time. I guess what I'm saying is Wilt's 100-point game is not really equivalent to a hypothetical (and this far, nonexistant) 100-point game anytime from about 1974 til the foreseeable future in pro basketball.
