Nolan Ryan took the mound for the Texas Rangers in the first of a 3-game series with the Brewers. And although the Brewers would sweep, the 43-year old Ryan went 7 2/3 innings, throwing 146 pitches (including 103 strikes) to record his 300th win.

I’m pretty sure that no other pitcher has reached the 300 win milestone since. I’m checking the win record of every MLB pitcher since that time, alphabetically. I am through the “B’s” and haven’t found one
