Nelson a sports writer in a Paunchy Gaylord Perry became the first Pitcher in 19 years to win 300 games in the major at the age of pitching near the end of his career for the Seattle Perry was Only the 1 5th Pitcher to reach the the Victory marked perrys entry into an exclusive Circle of Hall of Fame Talent a Circle that already has begun to expand in an unprecedented Way with the class of Tom a Caver of the Chicago White sox became the newest inductee into the exclusive 300 club with a Victory Over the Yankees last but other hurlers Steve Phil Don Sutton and Nolan Ryan represent a unique group of children of generally the same Era who arc poised on the verge of in a space of three beginning with Cartons entry into the 300 club in four pitchers who broke into the game at about the same time could break the when Perry won his 300th Histo rians had to look All the Way Back to 1963 for a that when Early Wynn struggled to his 300th and final major league Victory at age behind Seavor in the Victory charge comes 46yearold Niekro of the new York who has won 294 and Sutton of another 40year who has 289 Only the Junior of the class at will have to work longer if he is to join the 300 the Houston astros Pitcher has 239 but he already has assured his entry into the Hall of Fame by setting All time records with five no hitters and its exciting to read about Tom getting to because in chasing like Phil Niekro Sutton its exciting to Sec someone getting while Seaver explains this groups Suc in through conditioning and the proliferation of Relief us Sutton adds a Little Luck of the draw to the our bodies All Are Strong in areas where most of the strength of pitching is Sutton and our deliveries Are we dont lapse in and out of we All take Good care of our selves As far As conditioning but i May be the Only one who has never been on the disabled the Only Lethander in the has 314 victories in 20 seasons and is on the Philadelphia Phillies disabled list for the first time in his with a strained rotator he had won Only one of his eight Carlton broke into the major leagues with Louis in he pitched in the majors for part of the 1966 then joined Louis full time in he is the Only Pitcher Ever to win four by Young All since he moved to Phil Adelphia in while Carlton had struggled for victories this his earned run average was Only Winner of three by Young first pitched in the majors in 1967 with the new York he has been on the disabled list Only in 1980 after he was traded to the Cincinnati re acquired by the mets in Seaver went to Chicago the next season after he was picked from the free agent compensation his record this year is theres no question that 300 will rate As one of the highlights of my Seaver but i Haven set Back and thought what it Means to win 300 right i can reflect on and enjoy thoughts of individual reflection on 300 victories will come after in through is the old Man of the breaking into the game in after a year of military in he came into his own with the Atlanta leading the National league with an Era of he spent his Only turn on the disabled list in then brought his Knuck Leball to the Yankees As a free agent after the 83 his 20th with the if he Doest make 300 this Many believe he could do it in 1986 As player manager of the although he ranks among the leaders in Sutton considers himself the Odd Man while the others have been More he feels his Workmanlike style will not gain him entry into the Hall unless he wins winning 300 games is the most important thing i can think said 96 this its the key to the Hall of Fame for i and i want to make what Ive done has been a photo Phil Niekro Knuck Leball specialist Boring not Tom Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton Are Lead pipe cinches to make the Hall of i dont think i Ive been a Mechanic in a world of nuclear Sutton joined the los Angeles dodgers in 1966 after Only two minor league sea was sent Down once in then resumed his full time major league career in although he has never won the by Young he has won 17 or More games six times in his 19 he pitched for the dodgers until when went to Houston As a free pitching briefly with Ryan until he was traded to the Brewers in also started his career with the appearing in two games in he resurfaced in 1968 with the after a Brief tour of military duty and some time in the he was traded to California in two fac tors May have contributed to his lower Victory total trouble controlling a 100 Mph fastball Early in his career and six turns on the disabled he pitched two up photo Don Sutton Odd Man out no hitters in and one each in 75 and he passed the previously unbroken career strikeout Mark this the real Good nucleus took advantage of the improved conditioning Ryan when i first came up in the with the Way the salaries we were working in the Spring training was to get in players Are now in condition year who still throws the Ball about 98 said sports Medicine also has helped since it increases a players pitchers never had an it would mean that their career was Ryan they would end up As junk Ball pitchers and go to the but dont have As Many career ending in juries pitching in the same Era for about the same length of this group of pitchers has won major league baseball and that class the class of Green sees red Over cubs Chicago a cubs general manager Dallas Green Doest mince words he thinks the team he has put most of the blame on Ron Jody manager Jim Frey and its been Lousy to watch from a fans for a baseball Guy like its been Green said wednesday about his fourth place i guess i could have worked a Little harder to make a maybe this club needed to not be Green said he watched his team make some of the dumbest mistakes anybody could make losing to Louis and new York before the today major league strike that ended the cubs were to continue play thursday night in Green said of 37 you have to is it the beginning of the is it the or just one of those things a player goes through All i know is he Hast helped us As much As wed in a 13game hitting has had Only one Homer in the last 50 games and two Bis in i just am not satisfied with the Over All play and attention to what were Green Green also criticized who hit Ting and has 10 Home runs and 42 we also Haven had a Good year out of Jody and a lot of Guys who last year played better Green maybe i sat Back and expected bet Ter things from
