In fact I remember him being taken out of a few games his senior year. Also, his single highest scoring game came in his sophomore year not in a senior year push for the record. Oh good lord. You realize how many games Romeo hasn't played in the 4th because they were up 50? Romeo team was also better then the 4 BNL teams that Bailey played on. This record won't be cheapened at all.

It won't mean anything to me if Romeo breaks Damon's record if he chooses Vandy or Kansas over IU. I mean the kid is a phenomenal talent, and I'd like for him to have success, but if he doesn't pick IU, then I won't feel the same about him obviously.

He still had 8 extra games than Babe Ruth and his record is remembered as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 2 hours ago, CauseThatsMyDJ said: No idea. And if Damon did play in more games, did he have the record by the time he played the same number of games? Of course more games matter. It matters but my point is who is gonna remember and honestly who is going to care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making the claim that it's something people still talk about, I'm sure you've got lots of mainstream links from the past couple years to prove that point, right?

The fact that it’s not a current event has no bearing on the views that people hold about it. When a group of people are having a discussion about the single season home run king, you don’t think there are people that say it’s Babe Ruth?

And, Romeo has played against overall better competition. It would be a great accomplishment, and people should not try to diminish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
