Soren:

I believe that Lou is much bigger than his streak, and although Ripkin is also, Lou is one of the few who has achieved a lifetime slugging percentage over .600. This status can not be easily taken away. That is, until the bar moves up to a .700 slugging percentage being the target milestone. By then tho, everyone we currently hold in esteem will have gone the way of the 500 club.
