An elite club in sports is about to close. No more members for the 300 Win Club in major league baseball.

Professional baseball is all about statistics and clubs. Baseball clubs. Membership clubs.

Membership is limited in some clubs. Home runs. Strikeouts. Walks. Hits. Hitting streak. And wins.

In the 100 years or so of major league baseball, less than two dozen pitchers have won 300 or more games. Two are still pitching. Roger Clemens and Greg Maddux.

Tom Glavine may be the last member to the 300 Win Club. Why?

Baseball has changed. Pitchers are no longer required, or expected, to pitch eight or nine innings, or start a game every fourth day.

Today's pitchers get millions of dollars a year for going six or seven innings, pitch every fifth day, and half of them don't even have to bat.

To win 300 games, a pitcher has to win 15 games a year, every year, for 20 years. Of the top 10 pitchers, only three in the 300 Win Club pitched in the last 50 years. The other seven pitched before 1925.

Records are made to be broken. Not so with the 300 Win Club.

There will be no more members, unless Super Man is allowed to pitch for his beloved St. Louis Cardinals.
