He started his Cubs career at age 27, but he managed to set a number of team records and is top-10 in many more.

Cubs wins, the only one with 200 wins (201).

Games played, the only one with more than 500 games played...or 600 played (605).

Innings pitched, #1 and only one of 2 with more than 3000 IP (3137.1).

He was a starter, a closer, middle relief, mop-up...you name it over 16 seasons with the Cubs.

He wasn't great, and he wasn't awful. He was consistently good with a 3.55 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

16 seasons as a Cub and he brute forced himself into many team records and the team HOF. Salute.

I love Root and I love Tattoo Orbit. Great card.
