Yu Darvish got his 200th career win in NPB & MLB while I was in Japan and I wanted to do a quick post to commemorate the event. Darvish had 93 wins in his seven seasons in Japan and (obviously) 107 wins over thirteen seasons in the majors. It's kind of hard to believe he's been playing for 20 years now or that he's been in the majors that long.
I did
a post on him when he signed with the Rangers in early 2012 so I'm just going to show some cards from his time in Japan with the Fighters:

Very nice Darvish collection! I need to eventually track down some of his 2005 BBM cards.
Yeah, I have trouble grasping that he is now a 20 year veteran too, or that its been 12 years since he went to the US!
I respect and like Darvish but I also hate him for getting in Chunichi's way in 2006.
@Zippy Zappy - you and me both
