Book Synopsis
He was the winner of 511 major league baseball games, nearly a hundred more than any other pitcher. He threw three no-bitters, including the first perfect game in the new American League. He was among the original twelve players inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame, and his name is now attached to the game's most prestigious pitching award. Yet for all his accomplishments, Cy Young remains to many baseball fans a legendary but little-known figure. This book re-creates the life of Denton True ""Cyclone"" Young and places his story in the context of a rapidly changing turn-of-the-century America.
