My Take

Okay, how legendary do you have to be to have the sport's top pitching award literally named after you? That's Cy Young in a nutshell, and I find it kind of beautiful that an Ohio farm kid born back in 1867 ended up as the yardstick every ace gets measured against. I love that his story is all stubborn endurance rather than flash, the guy just kept toeing the rubber across two decades, from the Cleveland Spiders through Boston and St. Louis, racking up a win total nobody will ever sniff again. To me he's less a personality and more a monument, the quiet workhorse who built the foundation of the whole game. He passed in 1955, but honestly his name gets called out every single October, so he never really left. Total respect.

Overview

Denton True "Cy" Young (March 29, 1867 – November 4, 1955) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. Born in Gilmore, Ohio, he worked on his family's farm as a youth before starting his professional baseball career. Young entered the major leagues in 1890 with the National League's Cleveland Spiders and pitched for them until 1898. He was then transferred to the St. Louis Cardinals franchise.
