Written by Bjoern Hartig (Contact & Archive) on June 07, 2009

On the occasion of Randy Johnson's 300th win, we have prepared a little quiz about 300 game winners consisting of 30 questions. If you know some or all of the answers, please send them to this This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Whoever has the most correct answers will win a free copy of Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis. If two or more participants have the same number of correct answers, the one who sent his or her mail first wins. The competition lasts until Randy Johnson wins his 302nd game or until the final out of the All-Star Game, whichever comes first. And now without further ado, here are the questions:
