| Ajax McFadden Tames Cincinnati, 7-6, for #150 | His goal at twenty was to win twenty games one year, pitch until he was thirty, win the league pennant and to make some money. Well, Ajax McFadden did something even better -- the 28-year-old St. Louis Pilots star has now won 150 games in his career. That put him in a very select group of pitchers.
He joined that exclusive club today at Fuchs Park by whipping the Cincinnati Monarchs 7-6, holding them to 9 hits in 9 innings while chalking up 2 strikeouts and 1 walk.
In the postgame interview, the modest McFadden said, "It's special to win 150 games. You don't do it by yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you. Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back."
Since he joined the league, McFadden has collected 150 victories and 75 defeats with a 2.30 ERA. | | |  | |
