because it’s pretty much a ticket into the Hall.

Yeah, it's a big milestone
But 600 is obviously a lot rarer. I gotta say that 600’s the bigger deal. Or it should be.
by Brendanukkah on May 17, 2008 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
700 is the new 600,
and 500 is still the Hall threshhold. So 600 gets lost in the shuffle. That’s how my theory goes.
