250 Wins for Rum Runners Williams
Monday, July 9th , 2068
What would you do after you had just won your 250th game? Run around Krono Field doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Paul Williams -- that's not his way.

After he notched number 250, the 41-year-old Orlando hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Williams commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help."

Williams got his milestone victory by beating the Atlantic City Aces 6-0. He held them to 6 hits in 8 innings and rung up 11 strikeouts with 2 walks.

After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #250. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Williams's face broke into a big smile.

In his career Williams has crafted a 250-137 record with a 2.95 ERA in 3546.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .234 against him and he has rung up 3544 strikeouts.
