Tom Glavine wins 300 games!
August 5, 2007 
Mets pitcher Tom Glavine won his 300th game Sunday! Glavine became the 23rd pitcher in big-league history to win 300 games, and only the fifth left-handed pitcher to do so:
With a performance that reinforced his image as a brilliant pitcher, an intense competitor and a pretty competent batsman, Tom Glavine changed his baseball identity Sunday night. No longer is he merely the two-time Cy Young Award winner or the five-time 20-game winner. Now, first, foremost and forever, Glavine is a 300-game winner. With an HOF chaser on order.
Not only has the Mets ace reached an exclusive pitchers’ club in baseball, but he also may be the last to join, considering the way the game is played today. Randy Johnson has 284 career wins, but he is out for the season getting back surgery and may not even return to the game. No other pitchers are even close to 300.
ESPN did a great job getting the reactions between the Mets players at the end of the game, including the hugs all around and the interactions between Glavine and Paul LoDuca and also Billy Wagner.
Kudos to the Cubs’ fans for their standing ovations for Glavine. Very classy, Chicago! Glavine was also congratulated by a scoreboard display at the end of the game.
Glavine is the fourth 300-game winner to pitch for the Mets.
