While I agree with the general sentiment of this thread. Tainted, is tainted. But we are discussing a record for a fluky stat to begin with. While impressive, it's simply situational. Hell, I guarantee there's a ton of players that haven't even had 24 GS opportunities. It's hard to put too much value in a counting stat that doesn't hold all players on an even level based "solely" on what's in their control. It's not like taking steroids suddenly loaded the bases every time he came to the plate..
For the record. I've never held GS, W, S, RBI and a handful of others in a very high regard, in terms of comparisons to other players..
