June 16, 1986

That was the date of Jamie Moyer’s first win. Retrosheet’s box score and play-by-play here. Steve Carlton, now 67 years old, was the opposing starter. Kent Tekulve, now 65, made a relief appearance for the Phillies. Davey Lopes, now 66, was Moyer’s third baseman and the leadoff hitter for the Cubs (he went 0-for-2, walked 3 times, and stole a base).

A week after Moyer’s first win, a man named Eric Thomas developed LISTSERV, the first e-mail list management software. Two weeks after the win, Lindsay Lohan was born. Three months after the win, The Oprah Winfrey Show premiered. Four months after the win, President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev met in Reykjavik to discuss scaling back their missile arsenals. Six months after the win, Desi Arnaz (I Love Lucy) died.

The #1 single when Moyer won his first game was “On My Own” by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald. Five days before the win, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was released in theaters. Theaters were places people watched movies, and paid money to do so.
