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
