Yes, I know. Good points, all.
But what I was thinking was, 40 homeruns, 100 RBIs and .300 batting average are still the benchmark milestones.
In football, if a quarterback has a "Sonny Jurgensen Season" nowadays that's a mediocre season.
In basketball, I remember watching the day that Wilt Chamberlain scored career point 20,000. Didn't LeBron just do that (after what, eight years)?
