Becomes oldest MLB pitcher to get a win...and having to come back from Tommy John surgery to do. Really great story, I hope he gets to pitch at age 50! http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Jami ... res-041712

Great story. I liked the stat from his previous start. He had started approximately 87 games or so before the opposing starter (Bumgarner) was born.

If ever someone could make a quiet 80 million plus dollars in their careers, Moyer is it.

This guy must hate his family

You know he's related to an ESPN talking head, don't you?

Then I guess the hate is justified

Its a Once in a Lifetime event to see a guy get a win at age 49.

10 More Wins

Moyer and Wakefield are similar pitchers in my mind with respect to durability and dependability. Neither was really dominant, but they will go out there every 5 days and give you 6 IP.

Moyer had a few years in there where he was in the Cy Young talk. The guy has won 268 games over 26 seasons. I wish current Cubs pitchers could win 10 games a year.

Digger Phelps is his Father in Law-correct?

I like when people get up in arms about who is or is not in the HoF. Does it really matter? I love baseball and could not give two shits about the HoF entrants/non-entrants.

ok lemme have a look at his numbers....never remember this guy being an elite pitcher for even one season


ok...99 = nothing great
the other 2 seasons very good...so 2 very good years and one pretty good year in 30 years...not a stellar career ..but longevity will get him in.

Seattle is all the way over on the other side of the world. Its easy to dismiss their players. Like this Ichiro character... who the fuck is this guy?

actually seattle has a huge home field advantage..the travelling wears guys down.... ichiro is a hall of famer no doubt..would go down as one of the best baseball players all time if he came to the mlb when he was younger..... felix h is outstanding and already won a cy young...if you are great you get noticed

Not unless he somehow managed 300 wins. That doesn't seem possible.

and if you can believe it...on m&m this morning someone mentioned it.

Who cares about the Hall of Fame? There are so many undeserving players in there, who gives a fuck.

Its should just be the Cooperstown Museum


I think if in 50 years someone was touring a baseball museum, a Jamie Moyer plaque would be cool for people to read about.


Obviously, he's not close to an elite player how the hall of fame was originally intended


I think a baseball museum is better. There are a ton of guys in sports who werent elite but were vital and a big part of the leagues history

Isn't it already something like that though? I mean, you always hear about stuff being given to the Hall of Fame for them to display and it often has nothing to do with a hall of fame player.
