Dying 20,00 days ago as of today (8/7/10)
Posted by Chris Jaffe
20,000 days ago today, one of the most famous people in baseball history died: Cy Young. Obviously, he's most famous for winning 511 games, a record no one has ever challenged.
That said, his death itself had an impact on baseball. It was in response to his death that MLB began issuing an annual award to the man voted the game's best pitcher - the Cy Young Award. Thus it's not a coincidence he died in late 1955 and the first Cy Young Award came out in 1956.
History instructor by day, statnerd by night, Chris Jaffe leads one of the most exciting double lives imaginable; with the exception of every other double life possible to imagine. Despite his lack of comic-book-hero-worthiness, Chris enjoys farting around with this stuff. His new book, Evaluating Baseball's Managers is available for order. Chris welcomes responses to his articles via e-mail. Oh, and now he's on twitter.
