A small-town Ohio farmer made good, he set Major League pitching records in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that will likely last forever. The winner of 511 games--nearly one hundred more than the second-ranked hurler--Young pitched the first perfect game of the modern era, as well as three no-hitters. His talents helped establish the American League in 1901. Among the Hall of Fame's first inductees, he remained a sought-after interviewee decades after retirement. A year after his death, the Cy Young Award was dedicated as baseball's most prestigious honor for pitchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLew Freedman\u003c\/b\u003e is a long-time, prize-winning journalist for such newspapers as the \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer, Chicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnchorage Daily News\u003c\/i\u003e and Wyoming's \u003ci\u003eCody Enterprise\u003c\/i\u003e.
