There seems to be an unusual amount of milestones being met and records being broken this season.
Already we've had Sammy Sosa reaching 600 home runs, Frank Thomas reaching 500 home runs, and Craig Biggio reaching 3000 hits.
As I
wrote earlier in the year there are as many as 4 more players (Thomas was listed and has already done it) who could join the 500 home run club this season. Alex Rodriguez is just 2 home runs away now at 498. If all goes as scheduled, he will become the youngest player reach 500 home runs.
There's also a very good chance that Ken Griffey Jr. could become the 6th player to ever hit 600 home runs this season. He is currently sitting at 587 homers and is on pace to end the year with 604.
Tom Glavine is on the cusp of becoming the 23rd pitcher in MLB history to win 300 games. He is 298-197 all time. He may be the last pitcher to reach 300 wins for quite some time.
As
IHateU recently posted Craig Biggio may become the all time leader in times hit by pitch this season. He has been hit by pitch 285 times in his career. The all time leader is Hughie Jennings at 287.
Of course the biggest record to be broken is Hank Aaron's career home run record of 755 which Barry Bonds should break soon barring injury. Bonds currently has 753 home runs.
