600 HR. But it's not a "record" per se, it is an acheivement.  A lot of people believe that if you can hit certain marks (X number of HRs or Y number of hits) you can ensure yourself a spot in the HOF.  That is why Palmerio, who was always an above-average player, but questionable HOFer, wanted so bad to hit the 3000 hit mark, because he felt that he could get into the Hall that way.\n\nSosa is currently at 588 and fifth on the list.  While it isn't possible for him to get to fourth (Willie Mays has 660), everyone with over 600 is in the HOF (Ruth, Aaron and Mays) or expected to get in (Bonds).  The interesting thing is that all eligible players with over 500 HRs are also in the HOF.\n\nIf you're interested, below is a list of the career HR leaders.

The Mariners are still within reach of the all-time team wins record. The 1906 Cubs' 116 wins were done in fewer games so the winning percentage record will remain intact.\n\nThe record for a 162-game schedule is 114 by the '98 Yankees. The Mariners (111-45) have six games left to reach either total.\n\nSeattle already has set the record for road wins in a season (57), previously held by the 1971 A's. They will fall short of the home wins record held by the 1961 Yankees (65).

Baseball Reference says Walt Dropo of the '52 Tigers, with 12.\n\nTed Williams has the record for most consecutive times on base, with 16 in '57.

he was only offered a minor league $300,000 contract with invitation to spring training by the Nationals. Sammy Sosa has too much pride to take that deal so he decided to retire instead of being embarrassed. He moved back to the Dominican Republic where he is still loved.

Lou Gehrig did it in 1931 with 184 RBI's. He also hit 46 HR's and batted .341 for the season.\nThe guy was a stud.

No, postseason statistics are a seperately kept statistic.  As an example, Hank Aaron holds the home run record with 755, but Mickey Mantle has the playoff record with 18.  Those 18, then, would not count toward his "regular" home run totals.\n\nI find that these statistics, especially for football, can be tough to find in an easy format online.

That town is San Pedro de Macoris.  Through the 2006 season, 71 players born there have played at least one game in the major leagues.

I know the A's have the AL record from 4 or 5 years ago when they won 20 straignt.  I believe the New York Giants hold the overall record with 25-30 way back in the day.

Reggie Jackson with 2,597. It's the only major league record he owns. The funny thing is this, I met him a couple of times and I actually saw him hit 3 home runs at a game I attended in Anaheim Stadium against the KC Royals, it was during Bo Jackson's rookie year. Jackson lived in So Cal for awhile after he retired. He averaged 470 at-bats per season, so if you divide the number of strikeouts by the average number of at-bats, that equals 5.5 years of doing nothing but stiking out!

Cy Young's 511 career wins. In the modern era 300 wins is considered a lock for the hall of fame. Just think, it would take 20 seasons of 25 wins to reach 500... then you're still another half season away. The active player closest to him - Roger Clemens with 341 wins. He'd have to pitch 8 more 20+ win seasons to get there. It'll never be broken.
