Default O/T For Stat Guys Only, I'm sure SABR guys are already looking it up

I actually heard a debate on the radio today about whether Craig Biggio belongs in the hall of fame...Of course he does. 3,000 is automatic. He's going to be top 5 in doubles, he's never been under suspicion of performance enhancing drugs, he's played with the same team his whole career which is commendable and hard to do in today's market, and I've never heard a bad thing said about Biggio. He always plays hard.

Can anyone remember a year in which there were so many players hitting milestones and difficult accomplishments?

Sosa: 600 HR
Thomas: 500 HR
Biggio: 3,000 Hits
Trevor Hoffman: 500 saves
Tulowitzki: Unassisted Triple Play
Beuhrle: No Hitter
Verlander: No Hitter
Figgins: 6 for 6 in a 9 inning game


Possible milestone
Glavine: 300 wins (3 away)
Pedro Martinez: 3,000 strikeouts (2 away)
Griffey: 600 HR (16 away)
Bonds: all time HR King
Arod, Manny and Thome all should hit 500 HR
Sheffield has a slight chance at 500 HR

The Cubs need 23 wins for 10,000 in their history.
