No. If you went to the link to my article, I made the point that the home run record for a single season and for a career, and the career hit record have a possible taint. I am not evaluating Bonds or Rose off the field. I am merely stating that both have some questions to answer.
This leaves DiMaggio's record as one of the great records clean. That's all that was stated. Personal lives are not our business. What anyone does on her time is his business.
I agree and have always thought that a hitting streak is a freak record, and you and grandstander make great points, but the fact is that it did happen, and another fact is that players do NOT have the same intensity every game, or every at bat.
