2007 — Tom Glavine earned his 300th victory in an 8-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The 41-year-old left-hander became the 23rd pitcher with 300 victories and only the fifth lefty to win 300.

Instead, the race for baseball's best record has turned into a free for all. If there were any concerns about a Los Angeles behemoth running roughshod over the sport, that hasn't materialized so far.
