Denton True "Cy" Young

Crash Course · 09-13-2006, 10:19 AM

He pitched in the major leagues from 1890 to 1911.

Let me cast the first vote. His name is said at least twice a year on SportCenter, so therefore he is memorable

He does have an awful, worthless, mistakes are made over 100% of the time with it award.

But, if you add up the digits of Young's career RSAA, you get 13. If you add up the digits of Clemens's, you only get 10. They are both inferior to Jack Morris's 15, but I guess I can vote for him anyway.

Let it go. Just cause someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you have to drone on and on about it.

CY is one of the giants of the game. Holder of several "unbreakable" records.

If anyone votes against Cy, he should lose his voting privleges

captain_napalm · 09-13-2006, 02:34 PM

Yep, baseball legend... He's in

mainsr · 09-13-2006, 03:00 PM

No-brainer.

crazydiamond · 09-14-2006, 01:45 AM

if you multiply the digits of his RSAA, it's 24
not as good as the Mad Hungarian, Al Hrabosky (25)
but much better than Tom Seaver (0)
