InjuriesWhile what you say has some merit, it doesn't explain it to me. He was NOT hurt every OTHER year. Also ONCE we go down the road of INJURIES preventing STATS/RECORDS you end up in the never, never land of SHOULDA - COULDA - WOULDA - OUTTA - MIGHTA and the infamous "IF ONLY." Of course this is my opinion I coulda be wronga.

Actually he came close to being hurt every season. And yes we do have an infamous "if only", here check his stats:
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?statsId=3918 You can see a few years where you can make a good argument that "if only" he'd have beaten the record. Also remember the guy gets walked more often than most dogs, that holds down his stats and creates more "if only" action.
