btw, there is a tight little grouping for the winningest Japanese pitcher when MLB & NPB wins are combined Hiroki Kuroda 203, 79 MLB (LAD & NYY)* + 124 NPB Hideo Nomo 201: 123 MLB (LAD, KCR, TBR, NYM, BOS, DET, MIL) + 78 NPB Yu Darvish 199** (TEX, SDP, CHC, LAD): 106 MLB + 93 NPB * I have absolutely no memory of this guy, even from his time w/the Yanx ** Likely 200 before the night is out
