  • 03-29-1867 Cy Young.Indd
    This Day in History… March 29, 1867 Birth of Cy Young Denton True “Cy” Young was born on March 29, 1867, in Gilmore, Ohio. Young was one of the best pitchers in history, setting numerous records he still holds today. The oldest of five children, Denton Young (or Farmer Young as he was referred to as a child) attended school until sixth grade. After that, he left to help out on the family farm. Young played on several baseball teams as a child and into his teens, pitching and playing second base. After playing with the semi-pro team from Carrollton in 1888, Young was offered a chance to join the minor league team in Canton. At the tryout to join the team, Young made From the 2000 Legends of an impression on the scouts, saying “I almost tore the boards off the Baseball Sheet grandstand with my fast ball.” In fact, his fastball destroyed the fences, making them look like they’d been hit by a cyclone. Reporters started calling him Cyclone, which they later shortened to Cy, a nickname he would use for the rest of his life. Young played for the Canton team for one year, winning 15 games and losing 15. By the end of the season, the major league Cleveland Spiders signed him to join their team. Young had his major league debut on August 6, 1890, pitching a three-hit 8 to 1 win over the Chicago Colts. The following year, Young had his first of fifteen 20-win seasons. Then in 1897, he pitched his first no-hitter on September 18 against the Cincinnati Reds.
