 | Cy Young Inducted into Hall Of Fame Tuesday, October 26th, 2010: Cy Young has just become immortal -- the star pitcher has just been selected to the OTL 2010 Hall of Fame. What a fabulous career he has had. Young's career record shows a 487-287 won-lost mark and an ERA of 2.74. In 855 game appearances he fanned 2774 batters in 6856.1 innings and held opposing hitters to a 4.454 average. His name will now added to the list of legends this weekend at the induction ceremonies at the Hall of Fame. Young was 44, when he retired from baseball. One of his former manager commented on what it was like to hit against the new Hall of Famer. "When you think it's a ball, it's a strike. When you swing at what you think is a strike, it's in the dirt. He was a remarkable pitcher. Young was well-known for winning ballgames and for pitching inside. "Show me a guy who can't pitch inside and I'll show you a loser." Writers once asked him on Mother's Day, if he would brush back his mother. He curtly replied, "Only if she was diggin' in." |
