In front of packed County Stadium in Milwaukee, Braves lefty
Warren Spahn scatters six hits to beat the Cubs, 2-1, for his 300th victory.
The 40-year old southpaw, who will finish his career with 363 wins, the most of
any left-hander in the history of the game, is the thirteenth major league
hurler to reach the milestone.
Spahn would end up winning 363 games, more than any other
left-handed pitcher in history, and more than any other pitcher who played his
entire career in the post-1920 live-ball era. Imagine what would have been if
his career had not been interrupted by World War II.
