Here is an updated version after the 1992 season.  It was fun to see
Robin Yount and George Brett make it to 3000.  Next year its Dave
Winfields turn!

Milestones reached this season:
	3000	Robin Yount and George Brett
	2500	Eddie Murray and Andre Dawson
	2000	Ozzie Smith, Wade Boggs, Lou Whitaker,
		Carney Lansford, Rickey Henderson

Next year's possible milestones:
	3000	Dave Winfield
	2500	Carlton Fisk (can he get 154 hits?)
	2000	Ryne Sandberg, Harold Baines, Tim Raines, Cal Ripken, Jr.,
		Steve Sax, Tony Gwynn, and Kirby Puckett

Disclaimer:  There are many different "official" totals of hits for
players in the 1800s and early 1900s depending on how the hits were
counted.  I got my version from "Total Baseball" and it may be
different from your favorite version.  I've seen at least 3 different
totals for Cap Anson (two which have him over 3000).
