When they name an award after you, that pretty much guarantees you belong in the Hall of Immortals.
Cy Young won 511 games.
511!
To put that in perspective, it would take 11.6 Matt Harveys to do what 1 Cy Young did.
He pitched for 22 seasons, averaging 20 wins a season. He had 5 seasons of more than 30 wins. Did I mention 749 complete games (for you kids out there that’s pitching the whole game without going to a reliever).
I could go on but the numbers are ridiculous and could never be approached in today’s game. Clearly Cy Young is an Immortal
