| Clippers Hurler Reaches Milestone | What would you do after you had just won your 150th game? Run around Lakefront Park doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Dan Hicks -- that's not his way.
After he notched number 150, the 24-year-old Cleveland hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Hicks commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help."
Hicks got his milestone victory by beating the Boston Brahmins 2-1. He held them to 4 hits in 9 innings and rung up 3 strikeouts with 3 walks.
After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #150. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Hicks's face broke into a big smile.
Hicks has a lifetime record of 150 wins and 93 losses and a 2.74 ERA. | | | | |
