Rickey Henderson just got his 3000th hit. Lead-off double in the first.

Rickey Henderson ended the season with his 3000th career hit. The great Roberto Clemente ended a season with his 3000th hit, and was killed in a plane crash during the off-season while on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua. I don't expect Rickey to emulate Roberto.

McGwire hit 5 homers in his last 3 games in 1998. That's a pace of...270 homers a year!

Sosa had a three-homer game recently. That's a pace of 486 homers a year. BTW, Sosa ended the season with 64 homers.

The Mariners ended the season with 116 wins, tying the 1906 Cubs for most wins in a season, but the Cubs did it in a shorter season. Should the Mariners' record be entered into the record books with an asterisk?
