I'm in 2010 in my league (maybe 2011...they all blend together after a while). Sosa retired with 784 HR (I believe) in my league, comfortably passing Aaron. No one has threatened him yet (Griffey, Jr. retired with 701, I believe...I'm not in front of the computer) although A-Rod could challenge that. I believe Thome retired without breaking the mark. I'll check that later.
I started with the 2002 Rolen rosters and a fresh draft. I drafted Mo Vaughn as my 1B and he was great for me for three or four years. Because of self-imposed salary cap limitations, I didn't resign him in the year he turned 37. I figured he was about done, anyway....boy was I wrong. He went on to hit another 160+ homers, finally running out of steam when he turned 43. I'll post the stats later. He's a great rebuttal to all the people who talk about players collapsing at age 38 or so. Shocked the heck out of me. If I had known he'd be that good, I would have held onto him, damn the salary.
