Do you think you would respect long time records less if they were broken by a lesser known player?

No not at all. If that player somehow does it i would give him his due just like i give Roger Maris (a lesser known name than Mickey Mantle was) credit for breaking Babe Ruth's original HR Record.

I wouldn't think so because the player has to be a hell of a player to break a record and Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak is INSANE and if someone broke it they'd have to be a really good player. I think baseball fans can agree that all the records are pretty special no matter who breaks them.

If a lesser known player broke a record like Joe D's 56 game hitting streak I think I would remember it even more then if someone like Jeter broke it because it would be like this guy just came from out of nowhere and broke a record that's been around forever. It'd be kinda weird.

No, I think I would actually be glad to see a long time record broken, and if a guy like Yorvit Torrealba did it, I would have a whole new respect for him.

well if they are good enough to break a big time, well known record then they must be pretty good themselves.if torrealba did infact hit in 57 or more games in a row he would become very well known. mark buehrle threw a perfect game, but it didnt seem any lesser because he isnt an ace of a pitcher.

This is a great question but i don't think so because the propose of a record is so it could be broken by not necessarily a better player but by anyone if long time records were not broken baseball and all other sports would be boring

He has remained stoic, however the way Bonds' people floated wonderful dollar figures to Aaron to get him aboard a strange PR marketing campaign interior the ultimate months of the HR chase became into insulting to him...treating him like a miles less costly whore searching for one greater trick at 4 am. And for A-Rod...permit's save it actual; Aaron can not placed his acceptance obtainable for any participant linked to the sordid steroid era,

Once the guy would break that kind of record, he would no longer be unknown. You mentioned Dimaggios record, i think thats pretty untouchable

No I would not.. a ballplayer is a ballplayer and baseball is baseball. Who am i to say things like "jeter should break this record and ONLY jeter" or "This is ONLY for Pujols to break". Sounds selfish and disrespectful to me.

No. It would probably stick out in my memory even more.
