Question 300 game winners

Of the 21 who have won 300 games, how many have pitched a complete game for their 300th win? If any, who are they?

Good question, and probably a job for Retrosheet. I would guess that most of the "old" pitchers who got 300 went all the way.

I'm fairly certain that Galvin, Welch, Radbourn, Keefe, and Clarkson pitched CG. Almost fairly certain about Nichols and Young. It would seem Mathewson, Plank and Johnson WOULD have.

I suppose that what all this proves is that they were playing a different game back then. I have always felt that all-time leader lists and single season records, of all kinds should be divided into pre and post 1919
