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. |

jimmy rollins set the ab and pa records [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't mean this as a knock on Rollins but making a run at the AB record is meaningless. It basically says Hey I'm a leadoff hitter who doesn't walk and stayed healthy all year. Juan Pierre had 699 least year. The PA record is a team accomplishment. |

[/ QUOTE ] Wow. You people in this forum are amazing. Five months ago I said Ichiro is one of the best hitters of the 2000s. I never said he was the best. I also never said walking = bad. You folks hold grudges a long time. Haha. |

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.
