RIP Rickey Henderson
Yeah, those are pretty comparable too. Brees is going to get watered down by the extra game, but also it's an arbitrary line (is 4999 yards really meaningfully less significant than 5,000?).
Ripkin's is pretty amazing - especially when you consider that he beat what was already considered an unbreakable record.
Gehrig is 62% over Scott and then Ripkin is 24% on top of that.
