Amazing career. He's 41 closing on 42, so likely his last season (contract expires).

Memphis Over Birmingham 4-1, 400th Win for Brown: Memphis ace Lester Brown solidified his place in league history with his 400th career victory today at Barracudas Ballpark. Brown and the Mad Dogs bested Birmingham 4-1. He checked the Barracudas on 3 hits in 8 innings and finished the day with 2 strikeouts and 2 walks.
"I've worked hard for this day," Brown said. "Sometimes I didn't think it would happen. Most of the time it seemed so far off. Now it's here. It's like a dream!"
So far in his career, Brown has collected 400 wins and 222 losses and has recorded an ERA of 2.86 and struck out 5284 batters while pitching 5810.1 innings.
