I think it's statistically much more likely that non-athletes in that income bracket are committing serious "white-collar" crimes, so it probably evens out.

If this was 1980, every one of these headlines would be "Bored Baseball Fan Masturbates At Baseball Game".
It's really hard to argue against that point. Obviously, it was a special moment, because the record really hadn't been realistically approached, and it was happening in a crazy way, with two different guys sprinting towards the inevitability of at least ONE of them breaking it.
