Remembering Mets History: (2007) Tom Glavine Wins 300th Career Game
All the fan fare was about Tom Glavine going for his 300th career win. Just a few nights earlier Glavine had left the mound in Milwaukee with a lead, but didn't get credit for the victory.
On this night in Chicago, Glavine went 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and when he left the mound, even the friendly confines of Wrigley Field gave him a standing ovation.
Quotes: "As a player and a person, you want people to respect you and respect what you're about," Glavine said. "The response tonight was overwhelming. That's something you never expect to hear on the road."
Glavine became the 23rd pitcher in MLB history to win 300 games. It was his Glavine's tenth victory of the year against six losses.
