Here is how the players and their chase to get to whatever magic milestone they are chasing.

Clemens is currently 6-6 with the New York Yankees. He became the first pitcher since Spahn to record 350 career victories, but still needs 9 wins to tie Spahn on the all-time list.

BALCO Barry dropped his 748th career bomb on Sunday in Fenway Park against the Red Sox.

Sammy Sosa still sits at 599 HR, one short of joining the 600 HR club.

Randy Johnson was recently placed on the Disabled List with back tightness, making 300 victories look virtually impossible for him to achieve this season.

Alex Rodriguez hit another home run in the Bronx yesterday against the New York Mets, giving him 491 for his career.
