After Early Wynn in 1963, no one won 300 until Gaylord Perry in '82, and then four others joined him over five seasons. Then, after Nolan Ryan in 1990, there was a break until Clemens in 2003. Gaps seem to be the nature of these things.<br /><br />The next 300-game winner is some high school kid most people have never heard of. He'll make the Nationals as a 20-year-old in 2012, leave as a free agent in 2017, lead some other team (probably the Yankees, those bastards) to several world championships, and join the Giants as a grizzled overpaid oldster in time to win his 300th in 2032. Not unlike Johnson, actually.george1964noreply@blogger.com
