Today was the first time I realized that Cy was not his real first name. It was a nickname, and shortened version of cyclone, which referenced what his fastball is said to have done to many fences when he threw balls at them.
Cy Young pitched the first perfect game in the 20th century on May 5, 1904. He threw three no-hitters in his career. He started 815 games and had 749 complete games. Modern baseball will never see anywhere near that number of complete games. Cy Young also had 76 career shutouts.
Reflection Questions:
1. What is your passion in life?
2. How will you make your mark on the world?
3. If there was a nickname to describe you, what would it be?
May you find abundant blessings in the path of life you choose!
