Milestones
Colonels Ward Claims 200th Victory
Friday, June 26th, 1885: His goal at twenty was to win twenty games one year, pitch until he was thirty, win the league pennant and to make some money. Well, John Ward did something even better -- the 25-year-old Louisville Colonels star has now won 200 games in his career. That put him in a very select group of pitchers.
He joined that exclusive club today at Eclipse Park I by whipping the Cleveland Blues 6-4, holding them to 9 hits in 9 innings while chalking up 5 strikeouts and no walks.
In the postgame interview, the modest Ward said, "It's special to win 200 games. You don't do it by yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you. Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back."
Since joining the league, Ward has compiled an ERA of 1.86 with a career record of 200-132. He has 1440 strikeouts in 2915.2 innings and has held opponents to a .242 batting average.
Bobby Mathews Whips White Sox for #200
Friday, June 26th, 1885: It was a special day at Jefferson Street Grounds for Philadelphia's Bobby Mathews. The Athletics ace logged his 200th career win against the White Sox. In the 4-0 decision Mathews tossed 9 innings, surrendered 3 hits with no walks and 4 strikeouts.
"I'm real fortunate that I had the opportunity to play with such good players during my career," said Mathews. "I just couldn't have drawn it up any better. I'm glad I did it in this uniform, too. Philadelphia is a great organization to play for."
Thus far in his career Mathews's numbers include 469 appearances, 200 victories, 199 defeats, 4 saves, 3495.2 IP, 828 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.04.
