Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Knowing that we all have an ego—and that in baseball sometimes those egos can be really big—hitters can have really big egos and not only do they want to hit home runs but they want to hit them 30 rows back, because that's what people want to see. So now take that ego that they have and use it against them. ... If I can throw a hard pitch—maybe it's just off the plate—but [then] I throw the same pitch or a pitch looking just like it, but it's 8-10 miles an hour slower ... and they swing like it's the hard pitch, now all of the sudden they're thinking it's a fastball and they're swinging way ahead of the ball, and now they become frustrated. And that's where the game of chess, of cat and mouse in baseball really comes into play." - Jamie Moyer (NPR.org, 10/02/2013, 'At 49, Jamie Moyer's Pitching Career Goes Into Extra Innings', Source)

Did you know that only eighteen pitchers in Major League Baseball history have earned a win against all thirty Major League teams? Sportswriter AJ Cassavell once wrote, "Beating one Major League team figures to be difficult enough for a starting pitcher. Beating all 30 of them, however, is nothing short of pitching history." We agree and are pleased to present the I've Beaten Every Major League Team "club" that includes these 18 twirlers: Kevin Brown, A.J. Burnett, Bartolo Colon, Dan Haren, Tim Hudson, Randy Johnson, John Lackey, Al Leiter (who started the "club"), Kyle Lohse, Derek Lowe, Jamie Moyer, Terry Mulholland, Vicente Padilla, Max Scherzer, Curt Schilling, Javier Vazquez, Woody Williams and Barry Zito.

Did you know that only three pitchers in Major League history have won more than one-hundred games after turning forty-years-old, and one of the three is Jamie Moyer? The other two were Phil Niekro (121 wins after turning 40) and Jack Quinn (103 wins after turning 40).

Did you know that Jamie Moyer holds the Major League record for most home runs allowed in a career? Frank Tanana holds the American League record with 422, Warren Spahn holds the National League record with 434, and Moyer allowed a Major League record 522 home runs.

Did you know that Jamie Moyer was the oldest Seattle Mariners' pitcher sent to a Midsummer Classic when he appeared in the 2003 All-Star Game at 40 years, 239 days old? Moyer was hardly the oldest though in All-Star Game history, coming in behind Kenny Rogers (40Y 244D in 2005 & 41Y 243D in 2006 All-Star Game), Gaylord Perry (40Y 305D in 1979 All-Star Game), Randy Johnson (40Y 307D in 2004 All-Star Game), Roger Clemens (40Y 345D in 2003 All-Star Game, 41Y 344D in 2004 All-Star Game & 41Y 342D in 2005 All-Star Game), Nolan Ryan (42Y 161D in 1989 All-Star Game), Tim Wakefield (42Y 347D in 2009 All-Star Game) and Satchel Paige (47Y 7D in 1953 All-Star Game).

Did you know that Jamie Moyer and his catcher, Pat Borders, set the record for oldest starting battery in Major League history on July 27, 2005? Each was 42-years-young when the game started for a combined age of 84, the oldest starting duo ever, but after the game ended, Borders retired.

Did you know that Jamie Moyer pitched a complete game shutout on May 7, 2010, the Major League record for oldest pitcher with a complete game shutout, he was "only" 47 years / 170 days old. The American League record was set by Phil Niekro, on October 6, 1985, he was "only" 46 years / 188 days old.

On April 17, 2012, Jamie Moyer - a rare four decade player - became the oldest pitcher in Major League history to win a game and one month later, on May 16, 2012, he broke his own oldest winning-pitcher record then set the record for the oldest Major League player with an RBI.

Moyer pitches himself into record books

DENVER -- To become the oldest pitcher in Major League history to win a game in the Rockies' 5-3 decision over the Padres on Tuesday night, Rockies left-hander Jamie Moyer turned over the most significant decision of the game to a catcher born nearly three years after his Major League debut.

Moyer faced the Padres' Jeremy Hermida while clinging to a 3-2 lead with a runner at third and two outs in the seventh. Enter Wilin Rosario, born Feb. 23, 1989. Moyer first appeared with the Cubs on June 16, 1986, but that didn't matter.

"I had a lot of at-bats against him when he was in Miami, and I had a lot of success," Moyer said. "I was struggling with what I should do, if I should start him off in or start him off away. Wilin put a cutter down and I said, 'You know what? That's a good idea.'"

Hermida grounded out on that pitch and Moyer entered the dugout to the back-slaps and high-fives of his teammates, having held the Padres to six hits and two unearned runs in seven innings. He didn't exceed 79 mph on any of his 87 pitches.

Only after the Rockies scored two key runs in the eighth and Rafael Betancourt survived a nail-biting ninth inning did Moyer have his historic victory at Coors Field in front of 24,525.

Moyer's selfless approach to the key pitch demonstrates that even though the night was all about his place in history, he realizes the game really wasn't about him.

At 49 years and 151 days, Moyer surpassed the previous record held by the Brooklyn Dodgers' Jack Quinn, who beat the St. Louis Cardinals at Ebbets Field on Sept. 13, 1932, when he was 49 years and 70 days old. Moyer also tied Hall of Famer Jim Palmer for 35th place on the all-time wins list with 268.
