Giants' Tim Hudson becomes 15th pitcher to earn victories vs. all 30 MLB teams

SAN FRANCISCO -- Sixteen years ago, on June 8, 1999, Tim Hudson made his Major League debut with the Oakland A's. And on Sunday, Hudson's career came full circle as he defeated his first big league club for the first time.

In doing so during the Giants' 4-3 victory, Hudson joined some elite company, becoming the 15th pitcher in baseball history to earn a win against all 30 current Major League clubs.

Hudson is the second pitcher to accomplish the feat this season, joining Kyle Lohse, who defeated the final team on his list, the Minnesota Twins, on June 26. Dan Haren and A.J. Burnett are the only other active players with a win against all 30 teams.

Al Leiter, Randy Johnson, Kevin Brown, Barry Zito, Terry Mulholland, Curt Schilling, Woody Williams, Jamie Moyer, Javier Vazquez, Vicente Padilla and Derek Lowe round out the list of the remaining 11 pitchers.
