Unbelieveable! He had only 34 wins at age 30! Since then, he's gone 233-150 ! Wow!

If he can win 13 more games, he'll be at 280 and then he's got a real shot at making the HOF IMO.

Moyer became the oldest pitcher to win a game tonight, at age 49 years and 150 days. I hope he can still pitch well enough this season to come back next year and win some games as a 50 year old. It was his 268th career win.

Damn, 49 and still performing in MLB!

That is an awesome story! I'll try to keep track of him from now on.

He is getting guys out with an 80 mile an hour fastball and 75 mile an hour offspeed pitches(according to Barry Larkin). It's quite conceivable he could make a run at 300 if his arm holds up over the next two seasons. Truly amazing considering he wasn't viewed as more than a journeyman until the last few years.

That really is incredible. Moyer will be pitching Sunday at 3:10PM Eastern at home against the Mets. Maybe I'll get to see him pitch on TV before too long.
