A small-town Ohio farmer made good, he set Major League pitching records in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that will likely last forever. The winner of 511 games-nearly one hundred more than the second-ranked hurler-Young pitched the first perfect game of the modern era, as well as three no-hitters. His talents helped establish the American League in 1901. Among the Hall of Fame's first inductees, he remained a sought-after interviewee decades after retirement. A year after his death, the Cy Young Award was dedicated as baseball's most prestigious honor for pitchers."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20210614. 600 1 $a Young, Cy, $d 1867-1955. 650 $a Pitchers (Baseball) $z United States $v Biography. 650 1 $a Baseball players $z United States $x Biography. 941 $a 2 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014213.0 952 $l SXPC124 $d 20211002014224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B996383C234811ECBAAFE49D31ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
