It's been said that records are made to be broken, but sometimes the milestones reached on the journey are just as memorable as the record-breaking moment itself.
We've already seen Alex Rodriguez become the 26th member of baseball's 3,000 hit club this season, while Mike Hessman's 433rd career home run—a grand slam, nonetheless—made him the all-time home run king of the minor leagues, breaking a record that stood for nearly eight decades.
While some truly notable milestones remain just out of reach for a handful of players this season—Ichiro Suzuki isn't going to pick up the 92 hits to join Rodriguez in the 3,000 hit club, for example—there are some we could see fall before season's end.
