Recalling Phil Niekro’s 300th Win

Phil Niekro won his 300th game on the last day of the 1985 season as a member of the Billy Martin managed New York Yankees.

That is quite an achievement and the Yankees really wanted to win that season finale for Mr. Niekro.

The day before a Toronto (Blue Jays) victory had given them their first divisional title (then a one fourth division title) and eliminated the Yankees from such a possibility.
