View Full Version : Multiple milestones; same stadium

On Monday, July 2, 2007, Roger Clemens won #350 at Yankee Stadium. He'd previous won #300 at Yankee Stadium in 2003 after quite a few losing efforts (which began at a losing effort against the Boston Red Sox there). The only other pitcher to get #300 at Yankee Stadium was the White Sox' Tom Seaver, circa 1984.
Anyway, has any other pitcher had two milestone victories in the same stadium? Have other stadiums had multiple milestones of any type from the same pitcher (home or visiting)?
Thx. :)

Milestones
In a wild game at Griffith Stadium, on May 14, 1920, Johnson captured his 300th win, beating Detroit, 9-8... On September 5, 1921, Walter Johnson eclipsed Cy Young's career strikeout mark, bringing his total to 2,287 in a game against the Yankees... On July 22, 1923, Johnson recorded his 3,000th strikeout, in a win over the Cleveland Indians... Johnson notched his 400th victory on May 2, 1926, defeating the Philadelphia Athletics, 4-3, at Washington's Griffith Stadium.

That depends on what you consider milestones. There's a good chance that at least two of Warren Spahn's 100th, 150th, 200th, 250th, 300th, or 350th victories might have come in the same ball park.
Walter Johnson won his 300th game on 5/14/20 at Griffith Park and his 400th game on 4/27/26 at Griffith Park.

Thanks very much. That question's been on the back of my mind, so now I finally got a chance to get it out.
Utter, is there any way of finding out in which stadium a pitcher won his 150th, 200th, etc wins?

They have all of the box scores since 1957 so with a little effort and addition you could figure it out. I believe www.baseball-reference.com also has box scores but I haven't played around on that site as much.
