R.A. Dickey, rhp

By taking until age 37, R.A. Dickey is oldest first-time 12-plus game winner in the majors since Satchel Paige in 1952. Paige turned 46 that season. Aided by a couple of comebacks that have handed him no-decisions, Dickey is bidding for his 11th straight winning decision today. That would be the longest Mets streak since Dwight Gooden had 14 straight winning decisions in 1985.
