Yomiuri hits gosen in wins
2007-05-02 23:27
by Bob Timmermann

The Yomiuri Giants became the first Japanese pro team to win 5,000 games with a 5-3 win over the Chunichi Dragons in 11 innings at the Nagoya Dome. (Take note of the name of the source in the link.)

The Giants won their first game on July 3, 1936.

The winningest team in the US major leagues? According to Baseball-Reference, the leader is also the Giants at 10,127, if you count both their New York and San Francisco totals. The Chicago Cubs have the most while representing one city at 9,912. The New York Yankees lead the AL at 9,299, a figure which also counts the Baltimore seasons.
