Slightly OT - Are we at the end of the road for 300 win/3000 hit players?
I've been collecting 3000 hit tickets for the last few years, and with the retirement of IROD, the only person close to 3000 hits is AROD (and he should get it next year providing he doesn't get hurt). Damon had an outside shot but has not been signed yet this year. Other than that, I don't think anyone has even an outside shot. As for 300 win pitchers, unless Moyer pitches in to his 60's, I don't think anyone has a legit shot either (maybe Sabathia, but that's a bit of a long shot too). Does anyone think that we'll see anyone else in these clubs in our lifetime? It just doesn't seem like players are playing long enough to put up those numbers. I think that's sad on both a fan and collector level.
