Cy Young was born on Friday, March 29, 1867, in Gilmore, Ohio. Young was 23 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 6, 1890, with the Cleveland Spiders.

"What very few batters knew was that I had two curves. One of them sailed in there as hard as my fastball and broke in reverse. It was a narrow curve that broke away from the batter and went in just like a fastball. The other was a wide break." - Cy Young
