I really frickin hate this! Why does that put an astrik by his name? Or Barry Bonds or others? Because they "cheated"? Or because they evolved? Look at this:

The clubs Tiger is using now are superior in every way to the clubs Jack Nicklaus used. Even the ball has changed and yet no one cries foul. Payton Manning breaks Dan Marino's TD record. Ever notice how the league rules have changed on hitting the QB? Payton didn't get that record under the same circumstances as Dan and nobody said a word. Diet and nutrition for athletes isn't the same as it used to be. T.O. sleeps in a pressureized room for GODs sake! Nobody says shit when he breaks a record. Look folks, the game evolves as do the people playing it. They use technology to make themselves and the game better. Compairing records from one era to the next is like compairing apples to oranges. Don't think I'm right? Look at hockey; they are taking away the red line for hevens sake! How can you compare next seasons games and records to that of the past?
