Since signing with the Yankees as a free agent prior to the 2001 season, Mike Mussina compiled a record of 123-72 with a 3.88 ERA. During his tenure with the Yankees, no other American League pitcher recorded as many wins as Moose. He struck out 1,278 batters in pinstripes, ranking sixth on the club’s all time list. His 72 wins at Yankee Stadium were the third-most since 1976 when the facility was remodeled, behind Ron Guidry (99) and Andy Pettitte (95). With 270 wins over an 18-year Major League career, Mussina is eligible for election into the Hall of Fame in 2014.
