Jamie Moyer wins 250th career game

Jamie Moyer was a late bloomer. I remember him when he was just trying to establish himself in the Major Leagues in the late 80s and early 90s (he made his big league debut in 1986). If you had asked me back in the day to provide a rank ordering of which Major League pitchers would get at least 250 wins, I would have placed Jamie Moyer near the bottom of the list. Once he got to the Mariners, though, Moyer learned how to win and he just kept on doing it long after just about all of his more highly-lauded contemporaries had left the game. Well, today 46-year-old Jamie Moyer won his 250th career Major League game. Congratulations! Moyer appears to finally be nearing the end of the line, but people have said that numerous times before, so let's see how long he can last. He's certainly an unusual player.
