On May 10, 1988, Jerry Reuss told The Los Angeles Times (Times Wire Service. Reuss Gets His 200th Victory. 10 May 1988.), "I thought about it a lot this winter. I didn't know if I'd get the opportunity. There's not a lot of demand for old guys who've had arm operations and are coming off not a very good season." The opportunity he was hoping for, winning his 200th Major League game, which he did on May 9, 1988.

After winning that two-hundredth game, Jerry Reuss became only the second pitcher in Major League history with 200-career victories, without ever recording a single 20-win season during their big league career. Do you know who that first twirler was? [Answer]

When the Pittsburgh Pirates called-up Jerry Reuss to help fill in their 40-man roster, he was given an opportunity to pitch on September 7, 1990, and became the nineteenth player in baseball history to take the field in four different decades, joining Nick Altrock, Dan Brouthers, Bill Buckner, Eddie Collins, Kid Gleason, Jim Kaat, Tim McCarver, Willie McCovey, Deacon McGuire, Minnie Minoso, Bobo Newsom, Jack O'Connor, Jim O'Rourke, Jack Quinn, Jack Ryan, Mickey Vernon, Ted Williams and Early Wynn.
