They're not the same constant, but the constant given in A074457 is 
simply 2 more than the constant given in A087300. Both entries should 
mention that, I think.

There are also two errors in the title of A087300. It should read:
Decimal expansion of value of d for which volume of d-dimensional unit 
ball is maximized.
[Note that it is necessary to specify that it's a _unit_ ball.]
