How does 2007 stack up in terms of individual MLB milestones?
 

Just off the top of my head, so I might be missing some stuff, but:

Mark Buehrle no-hitter
Justin Verlander no-hitter
Clay Buchholz no-hitter
Tom Glavine 300 wins
Frank Thomas 500 homers
Alex Rodriguez 500 homers
Jim Thome 500 homers
Sammy Sosa 600 homers
Barry Bonds breaks all-time HR record

How does this stack up with other years?

A-Rod only 5th player ever with 50/150 season.
Rollins and Granderson went 20-20-20-20 or something along those lines.

Don't forget Craig Biggio's 3,000th hit, Roger Clemens's 350th win, and Trevor Hoffman's 500th save.

It's no match for 1990 as far as no-hitters are concerned, but it was a big year for individual milestones. I doubt there has ever been a year when three different players reached 500 homers. I was happy for Biggio and Thome. They both seem like good guys. Since I hate Sosa, A-Rod, and Bonds, I didn't really pay too much attention to those.

All-in-all, I think 2007 will be remembered as one of the most historic seasons ever.

Its funny that the posters I personally think are terrible then turn out to be the guys who hate A-rod and Bonds. Its a fairly strong correlation, go figure.

Don't know how I forgot Biggio's 3k

no-hitters are incredibly achievements, they aren't milestones though.

I just heard today that he had over 700 AB. That's incredible. Has anyone ever had 700 before? Rollins finished with 716.

He had a remarkable year and is certainly the leading MVP candidate on his team over Howard and Utley. For what it's worth, Holliday would still get my vote.

It's funny how the only people I know in real life that actually like Barry Bonds are complete douchebag a-holes.

No offense taken though. For what it's worth, I completely appreciate how great both of those players are. I just hate them. That's all.
