As Rick Reilly says: in order to be historically great, you have to be historically bad.
Money Quote:
"The way I look at it," said Moyer, 47 (not a misprint), "there's two pitchers in the 500-home-run-given-up club, me and Robin (Roberts). There's what, 25 guys in the 500-home-run-hit club? But there's only Robin and I in this one. That's way more elite."
If you had told me in 1992 that Jamie Moyer was more likely than Mike Mussina to enter the hall of fame, I'd have laughed way too hard (I was ten).
RTWT here. h/t Ethan.
Also, I totally called that Ripken would one day hold the record for double plays (with my semi-autistic statistical knowledge of baseball being dated by about 15 years).
