Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Mike Mussina completed his renaissance and may have gotten his crown jewel for the Hall of Fame plaque, winning his twentieth game today, 6-2, over the Red Sox. Mussina is now 30 wins shy of 300, which he would reach by 2011 with just two of his average years.
He also became the oldest first-time 20-game winner in baseball history, edging the still-Methuselan Jamie Moyer by one year. Here are the pitchers 35 and up who won twenty games for the first time (By the way, ESPN screwed up this list missing Federal Leaguer McConnell and adding two years to Allie Reynolds's age, but if they bother to acknowledge baseball during football season, we should be pleased):
| Age | Pitcher | Yr |
| 39 | Mike Mussina | 2008 |
| 38 | Jamie Moyer | 2001 |
| 37 | David Wells | 2000 |
| 37 | George McConnell | 1915 |
| 36 | Virgil Trucks | 1953 |
| 36 | Rip Sewell | 1944 |
| 36 | Preacher Roe | 1951 |
| 35 | Allie Reynolds | 1952 |
| 35 | Hugh Daily | 1883 |
| 35 | Spud Chandler | 1943 |
| 35 | Curt Davis | 1939 |
