Many fans around today know little of the game of baseball’s history. Its past is filled with colorful characters. Some performed at levels today’s stars will never reach, especially on the pitching side of the game.
It is a safe bet that no one ever approaches 511 wins. I would say 300 is out of reach in today’s game. Only two players in the history of the game have achieved 4000 hits. Rose and Cobb. One is in the Hall; the other is ostracized. It is also unusual that both of their names contain only four letters.
People always argue over who is the Greatest of All Time, the GOAT, as it were.
