As you probably know, Alexander Ovechkin finally broke the record of Wayne Gretzky. It has been around thirty years since the record belonged to #99, but it just changed hands.
Why are we talking about that on MLB passion? Because what just happened goes beyond the simple world of hockey.
When a record of such importance falls, it is the world of full sport who looks at that and who says that a very big page of history has just turned.
And the MLB is no exception.
We saw the official Twitter account of the Manfred circuit talk about the fact that Ovechkin had just seized the record. An old image of him in the colors of the Nationals of Washington was even published.
And we also saw the MLB account added by saying that its shot was better than its launcher motion. He had made a protocol launch after winning the Stanley Cup … and he hadn't launched a catch, let's say.
We could give many examples on this subject, but it should be noted that it is the world of baseball in general which wanted to underline the feat of the day of Alexander Ovechkin.
And with reason.
By force of things, it pushes us to ask ourselves if the player who will (maybe) one day Barry Bonds and his 762 long bales in a career was born-or is in the MLB.
Aaron Judge arrived too old in the MLB … And if it took everything to Albert Pujols to reach the 700, I see badly who will be beating, who did not drink that spring water to help.
