Atlanta Braves history: Peter Moylan's first pitching win

It's another "this day in history" segment for the Atlanta Braves today, and this was indeed a milestone date for popular Peter Moylan. This surprise is that it came 13 years ago today: April 24, 2007.

Moylan was a late-bloomer, but not so much because of his own talents. In his case, it simply took a while for him to be discovered since Australia hadn't exactly been a hotbed of baseball prowess.

That said, he did get a long look from the Minnesota Twins in 1996-97 as a pitcher for their Gulf Coast League squad, throwing just over a 4 ERA over almost 69 innings.
