But wasn't the asterick removed in the late 60's? I understand what you are saying, and I am also underimpressed with Suzuki, ( noone else can go by their first name,) but I look at it like this. Jim Brown is the greatest running back to play in the NFL. He played 9 years and gained 12,000 + yards in 12 and 14 game seasons. But when his record was broken, it was broken, and he is now 4th or 5th on the list. But if he would have played the 15-16 years that some RB's do now, the record would still be unbroken. But, we can't imagine what would have been. Maybe if Sisler played 162 games in a season, he would've taken a few nights off. We'll never know.
