Excellent points. I had forgotten about those moments. He did handle that moment with a lot of class. My sentimental choice was Gehrig's speech with Jackie Robinson's rookie year a close second.

My #1 choice still would have been for Aaron. He gets no where near the respect he deserves and he went through the same hell Maris did, if not much worse. I find it hard to write of that moment as something that would have happened "eventually".

In 1998 wasn't everyone saying McGuire would hit #715 "eventually"?
