    SBR trivia had wrong answer

    I had this for my 175 point question: "Jimmy Rollins set the Phillies' regular season record for home runs by a shortstop with how many?"

    I said 30. The trivia said 25.
    In 2007 he hit 30 home runs (2006 he hit 25).
    Something is wrong

    I believe both are technically correct because he first set the mark at 25 before later eclipsing it.

    True, but I like to look at the word 'set' and answering the question in the present I believe it should be what is set right now.

    No question. A few of the questions are outdated (records that have since been tied/broken). This one is a bit more egregious because it goes back 6+ years.
