Bigbuhn,
Frank Robinson played in my league until he was 42. He had 723 homeruns (all time leader is Chuck Klein with 751). He had a rating of 6 for HR and 7 for hitting and he retired! I was sure he would play one more season (he was signed for 2) and maybe break the record. Needless to say I was frustrated that he retired with a decent chance to break the record. Willie McCovey retired at age 39 with 738 HR but his ratings were all 1s.

This is something that has pissed me off a few times. I had a player (not on my team) that was 17 hits from the record but retired, with an 8 still for contact hitting. I was not happy.
