This day in baseball: Quinn becomes oldest pitcher to win a game

On August 14, 1932, the Brooklyn Dodgers recorded a 10-inning, 2-1 victory over the Giants at the Polo Grounds. This game made reliever Jack Quinn, at 49, the oldest player to win a major league game up to that time.  This record would be broken in 2012 by Rockies pitcher Jamie Moyer.
