 | Stanley Lamb Notches Number 150 Thursday, October 4th , 1888 What would you do after you had just won your 150th game? Run around Columbia Field doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Stanley Lamb -- that's not his way. After he notched number 150, the 25-year-old Pittsburgh 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," Lamb commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Lamb got his milestone victory by beating the New York Barons 10-2. He held them to 7 hits in 9 innings and rung up 7 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, Lamb's face broke into a big smile. Lifetime Lamb has chalked up 150 wins and 119 losses and compiled a 2.32 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |   |
