Oldest Winning Pitcher

This one flew under my radar, as it occurred last week, but I have to give it some recognition.

Bill "Spaceman" Lee became the oldest pitcher to win a professional game when he earned a win over Maui Na Koa Ikaika of Hawaii, 9-4 on Thursday for the San Rafael Pacifics. He is 65 and ended up pitching all 9 innings!

The lefty won 119 games in 14 seasons for the Boston Red Sox and Montreal Expos.

He ended up breaking his own record, which he set when he was 63 years old for an independent Massachusetts team.

Take that Rocket!
