Greg Maddux gets 350th career win

Yesterday, Greg Maddux became the 9th Major League baseball player to get his 350th career win. Here are his career stats (not yet including last night's game, as I write this).

Maddux is something special, so enjoy him while you can! I can't wait for him to pass Clemens on the all-time list!

By the way, in case you haven't noticed, a lot more of the NL position players have been having really good seasons than AL position players. Right now, there are about 20 everyday players in the NL who have an OPS of over .900 and only about 5 or 6 of them in the AL. It's still early and things will balance out some more, but some writers have discussed whether the balance between leagues is starting to tilt again. The AL has been stronger for several seasons now, and it will be interesting to see if we see some signs of a reversal during interleague play.
