AS-Lancastv Farming, Saturday, April 30, 1994 -r%Oi-D Perfection Ninety years ago. on May 5. 1904. Denton True "Cy" Young made baseball history by pitching the major leagues' first "perfect game " For the uninitiated, that means no player on the opposing team ever made it to first base no hits, no walks, no runs, nothing Young led his Boston team to a 3-0 victory over Philadelphia that day and he went on to win more games (511) than any other pk. pitcher He's also the only pitcher to win 200 or more games in both leagues Little wonder that / former Commissioner of Baseball Ford Frick thought of Cy (for cyclone) Young y in 1956 when he inaugurated an annual iV . award to honor the best pitcher in baseball. The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it. Jean Moliere e* One teaspoon of fresh herbs equals 1/2 teaspoon dried.
