Paul was waived by Sparky Anderson and then ranted:
PL> By "major league" record you mean breaking ML records within your own
PL> league.
There are no ML records per MLB, only records for the AL or NL.
PL> Didn't a player a couple of years ago win a batting title in the NL
PL> even though he was traded to the AL?
Winning a batting title isn't the same as breaking a home run record. A
batting title is based on a minimum of plate appearances and when a player is
traded to another league, their *record* is frozen and it's up to their
opponents to beat them (and if the player is a big flop in his new league, it
doesn't matter because it won't count against him).
