Thanks to all who answer.

Answer 1

I hope everyone but Pedro Martinez reaches their goals. Pedro is a little asshole and I hope he breaks his arm.

Answer 2

I'll put them in order of my interest.
1. Glavine 300 wins
2. Manny, Thomas, and Thome 500 homers
3. Biggio 300 hits
4. Pedro 3000 Ks
5. Hoffman 500 saves
6. Clemens 350 wins
7. Vizquel 2500 hits
8. Torre 2000 wins
don't care about appearances or homers in a league or innings pitched.

Answer 3

The Milestones that I am interested in are:

Craig Biggio: 70 hits for 3,000

Jim Thome: 28 home runs for 500

Frank Thomas: 14 home runs for 500

Joe Torre: 27 managing wins for 2,000

Roger Clemens: 2 wins for 350
183 innings pithced for 5,000

Tom Glavine: 10 wins for 300

Don't forget, A-Rod is only 36 home runs away for 500 as well.

Answer 4

Clemens and 350 wins because it is remarkable for a pitcher in the era of pitch counts and specialization to even get close to 300 wins, let alone 350. Of course he has to come back and play to get those last two wins. Roger, if you see this please come back to Boston and finish where you started!

Also, for the same reason Glavine and 300 wins. He could be the last pitcher to reach that total.

As far as the hitting milestones, none of them mean as much anymore. Even without steroids and HGH hitters are so much better now than in previous eras I think we need to raise the bar on our hitting milestones.

Answer 5

I am interseted in Biggio getting his 3,000th hit and all the guys going for 500 dingers. 3,000 hits is a great milestone and 500 homers is (with the exception of McGuire) a direct invitation to the Hall of Fame. I would like to see Glavine get his 300th win, also, because I think it will be a long time before we see another pitcher hit that mark.

Answer 6

who cares about clemens, joe torre, manny ramirez or jim thome

I'll say that craig biggio is probably the most interesting player up there, or perhaps tom glavine

Other than these two players none of them are worth mentioning. Thank you for not mentioning bonds since he is a definite cheater and deserves no recognition

Answer 7

As a yankee fan, Torre's 2,000th will be great, but it will be nice to see a great closer like hoffman reach 500 saves and Thomas reach 500 hr's. Even though i dont like manny or the red sox, he is a great player and i do somewhat respect him (his talent and hitting, not personality) and i guess he deserves it. Tom Glavine also deserve's his 300th, a big milestone, i can remeber seeing Clemens' in ny.

Answer 8

Manny Ramirez :30 for 500

Answer 9

I am interested in former Arizona Wildcat Trevor Hoffman approaching 500 saves. Not bad for a converted shortstop who, on his best day, can only touch 85 on the gun. With a changeup like his, he could probably pitch a few more years and still have good success.

Answer 10

Roger Clemens

Answer 11

Oh,yeah...Omar Vizquel getting 2500 hits....time to alert the media!......Seriously,though,I didnt realize Thome was on the verge of 500 Home Runs.Well,Ill be keeping an eye on "Mr.Incredible".And if Clemens comes come back Ill be paying attention to him.350 wins is really amazing!Thats getting close to Warren Spahn,Christy Mathewson territory.
