The amazing Cy Young was born on this day in 1867.
Young won 511 games, completed 749 with a 2.63 ERA.
One of his better seasons was 1892: 36-12 with a 1.93 ERA, 453 innings pitched and 48 complete games!
Of course, his name is now synonymous with great pitching. The Cy Young Award is given each year to the best pitcher in the AL and NL.
