The Magnificent Cy

On this day in 1904, pitching against the Philadelphia Athletics at the Huntington Avenue Grounds, Cy Young of the Boston Americans throws the first perfect game in the modern era of baseball.

Sweet.

Lineup for Yesterday

Y is for Young
The magnificent Cy;
People batted against him,
But I never knew why.
