By winning this afternoon Randy Johnson became the 10th pitcher in the major leagues to win his 7th game so far this seaon. The interesting thing about the list is that only one of the pitchers (Freddy Garcia) is between ages 28 and 38.
Four of them are old guys: Curt Schilling (39), Tom Glavine (40), Kenny Rogers (41) & Randy Johnson (42). Three of those four will very likely be in the Hall of Fame someday.
Five great young pitchers are on the list too: Brandon Webb (27), Josh Beckett (26), Oscar Villareal (24), Justin Verlander (23) & Scott Kazmir (22). Who knows if any of those guys will join Kazmir in the Hall of Fame but it should be interesting to watch.
Footnote, Villareal is an interesting case since he has gotten all 7 of his wins out of the bullpen, but it still counts.
