Baseball is all about numbers. Winning is not that important. Since not very many teams gets to the playoffs. As we saw the chase of Sosa-McGuire the 68 home run season, then Bonds breaking 70, and now bond making history; in most cases the team lost. had this be in Cricket we would not care the way Baseball fans care.
As I said in many cricket threads, winning is everything. The individual numbers mean very little to me, if the numbers come after winning so be it. That is why to me, Viv is better Lara, Waugh is better than Tendu, MJ better than Big "O" (Oscar Robertson), Russell over Wilt; Pele over Maradona.
