Some records...

The career wins record is 481 by Satchel Paige who played from 1926-1949. Number two on that list and gaining ground is Dwight Gooden, who currently has 452 wins, putting him just 29 wins behind the all-time record.
He's still pitching well and providing he continues at his current pace, he'll break the record by the 2007 season.
The all-time home run record is 978 by Babe Ruth who played from 1913-1936. Number two on that list is Hack Wilson with 697.
41-year old Barry Bonds is currently 5th on the all-time list with 621 home runs and it doesn't seem likely that he'll become the first player with 700 home runs, though there was a though at one time that he might be.
The single-season home run record is Babe Ruth's 57 set in 1915. The closest anyone has come was Lou Gehrig in 1924, with 53. Eric Chavez hit 52 this past season, but Ruth remains the only player to hit 50 more than once doing it in 1913, 1915 and again in 1922. Only four other men have done it, Gehrig, Chavez, Adrian Beltre in 2004 and Olmedo Saenz that same year.
