Jamie Moyer - the oldest pitcher to win a major league baseball game
By Richard K. Barry
At 49, Jamie Moyer becomes the oldest pitcher to notch a "W" in the bigs, doing it in a 5-3 victory by the Colorado Rockies over the San Diego Padres this past Tuesday.
Cooperstown has asked for some sort of memorabilia from Moyer to commemorate the event, so we know it's a big deal.
According to reports, the left-hander relied on a cutter the Padres couldn't get good wood on and a 78-mph fastball that "danced all over the place."
Good for Moyer and good for those of us who look back on 49 fondly.
