300 Wins

 

The other night Tom Glavine of the New York Mets became the 22nd player to have 300 wins or more in their careers and is he the last we will ever see get to that mark. As we know Randy Johnson is next in line but with all of his injuries in the last few years it will be tough. One of my favorite players is Johan Santana who pitches for the Twins would have to average 17 wins a year for the next 12 years to get 300. The odds are against him and most of the other players. So why, thats a question that I would like someone to answer.

Now what will the Hall of Fame do when the pitchers don’t have the numbers to get into the Hall, will they lower there standards or will they say tough, why not earn it like the rest of them did. It’s not the original players fault that they played hurt or did whatever it took to win. These teams didn’t have much for relief pitchers or closers, they were it and you pitched the hole game win or lose. Now how many players can say that now. Most pitch

the 1st 7 innings then go in and take a shower and have left the field before the game is even over. I hope the hall doesn’t change there ways. The Hall of Fame no matter the sport should be earned not just given because of who the player is, how about what they did for the game or the team they played on.

So in closing Congrats to Tom Glavine our last 300 game winner. You have earned a trip to the Hall of Fame.
