if I had gotten b1 17 the day b2 47 was gotten, and it was still untied as of today, and b2 47 was the now common tied wr, would you guys rank b1 17 #1 too? it was viewed the same way back then as 47 is now (if not better than that), but over time, it lost its value. 47 is so new, noone but Clemens (and maybe Bryan?) has even SEEN the run (whereas my 17 was out pretty much instantly), and more people have failed 47s and came close now then 17s were failed back then.. I don't see what's so outstanding about it at all.
