Cy Young Cleveland pitching

Denton True "Cy" Young (1867–1955) won 511 games — a number that has stood for over a century and looks fixed in concrete now. A right-handed pitcher and hitter, he came up with the Cleveland Spiders in 1890, won pennants for the St. Louis Perfectos, and built his American League legacy with the Boston Americans before circling back to Cleveland for his final productive seasons with the Naps from 1909 through 1911. The "Cleveland pitching" card is one of his E90-1 American Caramel issues, depicting him on the mound in his Naps uniform during that late-career return. The annual award given to the best pitcher in each league since 1956 carries his name. Young died November 4, 1955 in Newcomerstown, Ohio. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1937 in the second class of inductees.
