| Jerry Kessler Wins Number 100 | What would you do after you had just won your 100th game? Run around Union Grounds doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Jerry Kessler -- that's not his way.
After he notched number 100, the 24-year-old Toledo hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Kessler commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help."
Kessler got his milestone victory by beating the Kansas City Stars 2-0. He held them to 8 hits in 9 innings and rung up 2 strikeouts with 5 walks.
After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #100. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Kessler's face broke into a big smile.
Kessler has fashioned a 100-82 won-lost record in his career with a 4.37 ERA. | |
