"Iron Mike" Crawford ended the 1935 season with 274 career wins. I gave him the nickname because he's been incredibly durable throughout his career. Even now, in his late thirties, he's always among the league leaders in innings pitched.

With any luck, he'll have enough left to pitch for two more years, which might be enough to put him over 300.
Should be close it looks like, but it would be nice to see him hit it. I'm a sucker for those "magical" numbers.

Your coming up on one of my favorite eras, so it should be really fun to see how it all pans out. DiMaggio, Mize, and coming soon Ted Williams and Stan Musial. I'm looking forward to it.
