In Major League Baseball,the Rookie of the Year Award is given annually to two outstanding rookie players,one each for the American League (AL) and National League (NL),as voted on by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). The award was established in 1940 by the Chicago chapter of the BBWAA,which selected an annual winner from 1940 through 1946. The award became national in 1947;Jackie Robinson,the Brooklyn Dodgers' second baseman,won the inaugural award. One award was presented for all of MLB in 1947 and 1948;since 1949,the honor has been given to one player each in the NL and AL. Originally,the award was known as the J. Louis Comiskey Memorial Award,named after the Chicago White Sox owner of the 1930s. The award was renamed the Jackie Robinson Award in July 1987,40 years after Robinson broke the baseball color line.
In Major League Baseball,the 300-win club is the group of pitchers who have won 300 or more games. Twenty-four pitchers have reached this milestone. This list does not include Bobby Mathews who won 297 in the major leagues plus several more in 1869 and 1870 before the major leagues were established in 1871. The San Francisco Giants are the only franchise to see four players reach 300 wins while on their roster:Tim Keefe in the Players' League,Christy Mathewson and Mickey Welch while the team was in New York,and most recently Randy Johnson. Early in the history of professional baseball,many of the rules favored the pitcher over the batter;the distance pitchers threw to home plate was shorter than today,and pitchers were able to use foreign substances to alter the direction of the ball. Moreover,a schedule with rest days after most games allowed pitchers to start a far higher proportion of their team's games than modern pitchers do,typically every other game or even more. The first player to win 300 games was Pud Galvin in 1888. Seven pitchers recorded all or the majority of their career wins in the 19th century:Galvin,Cy Young,Kid Nichols,Keefe,John Clarkson,Charles Radbourn,and Welch. Four more pitchers joined the club in the first quarter of the 20th century:Mathewson,Walter Johnson,Eddie Plank,and Grover Cleveland Alexander. Young is the all-time leader in wins with 511,a mark that is considered unbreakable. If a modern-day pitcher won 20 games per season for 25 seasons,he would still be 11 games short of Young's mark.
In Major League Baseball (MLB),the 300 save club is the group of pitchers who have recorded 300 or more regular-season saves in their careers. Most commonly a relief pitcher earns a save by being the final pitcher of a game in which his team is winning by three or fewer runs and pitching at least one inning without losing the lead. The final pitcher of a game can earn a save by getting at least one batter out to end the game with the tying run on base,at bat,or on deck,or by pitching the last three innings without relinquishing the lead,regardless of score. The statistic was created by Jerome Holtzman in 1959 to "measure the effectiveness of relief pitchers" and was adopted as an official statistic by MLB in 1969. The save has been retroactively measured for past pitchers where applicable. Hoyt Wilhelm retired in 1972 and recorded just 31 saves from 1969 onwards,for example,but holds 228 total career saves.
