When Colorado Rockies left-hander Jamie Moyer became - at 49 - the oldest pitcher in history to win a major league game last Tuesday night, it probably didn't cross his mind that a few million middle-aged guys suddenly felt a little bit younger and lot more alive. It wasn't about that. It wasn't some quest to prove that life begins at almost 50, or to prove anybody wrong. It wasn't to write his name in the record book or write out Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Jack Quinn, who was a couple months younger when he set the record 80 years ago that Moyer just broke.

You're an Orioles fan and the big question on your mind now is: How long will it last? A 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox in 17 innings Sunday for their fifth win in a row and ninth in 11 games? Are you kidding me? With Adam Jones taking Darnell McDonald's cream puff fastball over Fenway Park's Green Monster for the game-winning three-run blast? And designated hitter Chris Davis on the mound for the Orioles, looking like Mariano Rivera as he strikes out Adrian Gonzalez with two on and one out before inducing a game-ending double play?

Former Orioles pitcher Jamie Moyer's effort to blanket America with bereavement camps for children is based on nothing personal. No tragedy in Moyer's own life spurred him to create a nationwide network of support centers for youngsters who are grieving for loved ones - like the camp that is coming to Maryland in July. "Why do this? Why not?" said Moyer, who, at 47, is still pitching for the Philadelphia Phillies. "We all have to deal with death, but when a child has to do it, it's really unfortunate," he said.

This is worth writing about, even though in Jamie Moyer's last game as an Oriole I was still single. I got married a week after Moyer last pitched for Baltimore, back in 1995, his third and final season here. That was before three kids and 16 years of wedded bliss for me. That's how we mark Moyer's career these days, in our own timeline: where we were when he did what. His first win, June 16, 1986 with the Chicago Cubs, came as I had just finished my junior year in high school.

WASHINGTON - -The 6-foot-10 lefty with perhaps the most menacing sneer and imposing mound presence in baseball history had to take a few exaggerated breaths to keep from breaking down Thursday night. Sitting before reporters at Nationals Park after becoming the 24th member of major league baseball's 300-win club, San Francisco left-hander Randy Johnson's face reddened as he struggled to explain what he was feeling after the Giants' 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals. "This is kind of a long-term thing that has been going on for 21 years, and you finally get to this day," said Johnson, who at age 45 is the second-oldest pitcher to reach the milestone.

On the field: Among the Yankees' biggest problems this year has been the inability of their pitchers to keep the ball in the park. They have allowed at least one homer in 36 of their 50 games and a total of 70 -- second-worst in the AL behind Minnesota. Last night, they held the Orioles without a homer.In the dugout: Orioles manager Phil Regan went into last night's game praying that starter Jamie Moyer would pitch at least five innings and as many as seven to give his exhausted bullpen a bit of a break.

PHILADELPHIA - Jamie Moyer has been around major league baseball so long that even the talk about his age has gotten old. "The age thing, it's not an issue," said Moyer, the Philadelphia Phillies' 45-year-old left-hander and former Oriole who tonight will become the second-oldest player to start or play in a World Series game when he takes the mound, weather permitting, against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3. "It's been around for a while with me, and...
