CY YOUNG·1905

Eighteen and nineteen on the win-loss line — and two hundred ten punchouts with a 1.82 ERA that stays cold. Thirty walks all year. The record said .486; the arm said control. The cartoons hang a padlock on the plate and leave the K cloud loud.

In 1905 he fanned 210 batters — the smoke still forms a K.

30 WALKS

In 1905 Cy walked only 30 men — a padlock on the plate.

1.82 E.R.A.

In 1905 his E.R.A. was 1.82 — cold on the glass even on a .486 ledger.
