Autograph Of The Week : Don Sutton

On June 18, 1986, Don Sutton stepped on the rubber, threw out the first pitch, and went on to win game number three-hundred. The most amazing part of that particular date is that it was Sutton's twentieth season in the big leagues which made him the first pitcher to need twenty seasons to win three-hundred ball games!
"Whenever I pitch during the regular season, it's work, to me it's like a routine thing, like going to the office or walking into a factory." - Don Sutton
