This reminds me of the women’s basketball game where they allowed a girl with a broken leg to “score” and get the record.

I think this is not so “inspirational” as it would have been if she had simply hobbled her homer.

I recall this and remember thinking how unfair it was to the original record holder. When this happens the player getting the break is severely diminished and the record itself requires an asterisk next to it.
