Considering just a few of the season's highlights: Barry Bonds braking the all-time homerun record, A-Rod and Frank Thomas smashing career homeruns number 500 and Trevor Hoffman collecting his 500th save, 2007 is going to be a tough act to follow.

Here's a closer look at the season that was 2007:

Milestones:

• Barry Bonds hits 756 to pass The Hammer. Although, Hank is still number one in my book.

• Sammy Sosa cracks career homerun 600 against his former Cubbies.

• A-Rod hits an A-Bomb for career homerun 500.

Frank Thomas goes yard in Toronto for his 500^th.
