I advise a look at Baseball Reference.

500 HR is actually a good reference point. There are 25 players who have hit that many. 5 are still active. 3 of those guys are locks, and 2 of them are probable. 4 recently retired one are tainted by drug scandal, but will probably get inducted anyway. One of them is not eligible yet. The other 15 are in the Hall.
I think 500 is a good marker for HR.
You can do the same exercise in the other categories.
