Is the size of this entry really justified? There are so many sports in the world. Will WP not collapse under the weight of articles about people who hardly come up to its standard of notability?

This entire paragraph is confusing to me. I don't understand what the two events have to do with each other. (I'm not much of a baseball fan, so maybe it's me.)
