I remember Ripken's chase on Gehrig (which I still say is an over-rated record). Emmitt's on Walter Payton. Kareem on Wilt's scoring record. Nolan Ryan on the strikeout record. Wayne Gretzky chasing Gordie Howe. And many more. Here we have arguably the greatest record in North American sports. It's a record I never thought would be broken in my lifetime. A magical number - 755. Something I dreamt about as a kid playing homerun derby in my friend's backyard. But I could care less because the player chasing the record is an arrogant, egotistical, cheating asshole.
