268!
Congrats to Jamie Moyer on his 268th major league victory:
Moyer earned that elusive win for the ages in his third start of the season. His age is 49 years, 150 days old. That’s important to note since before Moyer’s effort, the oldest pitcher to win a game in the majors was Jack Quinn of the Brooklyn Dodgers on Sept. 13, 1932, when he was 49 years, 70 days old.
Not that Moyer knows much about Quinn. “I wish I was a baseball historian,” Moyer said. “I’m a little embarrassed to admit that. As players, we should know more about the game, the history of the game. You need to respect the game and the people that came before you.”
Moyer is currently 1st among active pitchers in:
Wins
Inning pitched

Home runs allowed
Hits allowed
Losses
Earned runs allowed
Batters faced
Putouts as pitcher
Assists as pitcher
But only 44th in strikeouts.
