Baseball is the only place where the following is true:

714 > 755
2130 > 2632
4189 > 4256


I don't think this premise is true and I know my son will not believe any of this. Ruth was likely the greatest baseball player ever, but Hank is the HR king. Ripken's streak had so much fanfare, people will rarely even mention Lou outside of ALS.

I do like the last one. I'd love it if Rose was forever remembered as simply an answer to an obscure trivia question as OBP and SP become more important than BA.
