Regarding Cy Young’s 500th Win and Previewing Notes On Gabby Street

While researching information on Cy Young’s 500th victory on July 19, 1910, I noticed the opposing catcher was Gabby Street.

Young was with the Cleveland franchise, now the Indians, pitching vs the Washington franchise, now the Minnesota Twins, when he notched a victory that in all probability will never, ever (tribute to Johnny Evers) be matched.

Street was involved in some great baseball history in later years.

In a future post, I will cite some of that history.

I am truly enjoying Mr. Browning’s book about Cy Young.
