Wow, what a crazy and exciting weekend this has been for MLB baseball fans. While the hitters were leading the way by marching into the record books, New York Mets hurler Tom Glavine joined major league pitching’s most prestigious club tonight with an outstanding performance against the Chicago Cubs. Tom’s precision was flawless. His ability to change speeds and fool the Cub’s dangerous hitters led him to his 300th career victory. His manner and dedication are what have made him one of baseball’s best pitchers. The stylish left-hander earned his 300th victory despite nervous family and friends looking on from near the Mets’ dugout on the first-base side. Glavine left thegame with a five run lead after 6 1/3 innings tonight and New York’s bullpen held onto the lead for an 8-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Glavine who is 10-6 with a 4.38 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season became only the 23rd pitcher with 300 career victories. He is the first since former teammate Greg Maddux reached the milestone in 2004 while with the Cubs. The 41 yo Glavine, who is only the fifth lefty to win 300, celebrated a momentous weekend in the world of professional baseball pitchers. Entering with a .231 batting average this season, Tom Glavine showed his prowess with the bat, and helped out his cause by hitting a two-out RBI single in the second inning to put the Mets ahead. Mets skipper Willie Randolph brought in relief pitcher Billy Wagner to seal the victory for Glavine to go into the record books.
