One of the most consistent and durable pitchers the game has ever known, Denton True “Cy” Young won 511 games – almost 100 more than any other pitcher in history. He won 30 games five times and topped 20 wins an astounding 15 times. In 1901 Young had his best season and became the fledgling American League’s first superstar, leading the junior circuit in wins, strikeouts and ERA.
