	Lions6116: Actually I did! LOL AMAZING he isn't on this!

	At LEAST 4 times for young. I guess I also never realized that Pettitte has the 2 sets of double t's. That just looks really odd.

	@Lions6116 I think it's time to change the award from the Cy Young to the Burleigh Grimes

	I thought of Lefty Gomez, but forgot about Lefty Grove. I didn't know there were so many Lefty's.

	@Grunt2009 They should accept the spelling of Pettitte as mlxplxgkz 'cause that's my version. Duh! The intent is to give the name of the player asked for, not for your interpretation of said player's name. You spelled it wrong, get over it!

	Who kept the fountain pen stats in the 1870's? Seriously.

	bojanthebest:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 02:15 GMT	0 points
	At Baseball Reference it says Al Spalding only had 252 wins not 253.

	Nichols and Young started at about the same time and Nichols had won a few more games than Young when he quit. He tried coming back a year or two later but didn't have much success. Meanwhile Young kept rolling along for another decade. Young was usually not the best pitcher around, but he was always among the best, and his success through multiple eras and for such a long period makes his career truly incredible.

	Add in the fact that Young had all but 11 of his 511 wins in the 1890s and 1900s, it would seem a mortal lock that he had to win one of those decades. Guess not though.

	I this quiz would be so much easier. I guess not.

	Cy Young won 267 in the 1890s and 230 in the 1900s. I was stunned too.

	I will freely admit that I pulled the 1980's one out of thin air. I can't think of a reason I got it.

	How did I forget Al Spalding?? He was my childhood hero!

	Propellerhead:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 02:43 GMT	2 points
	I typed in every freaking great seventies pitcher except Palmer. Seaver, Carlton, Blue, Blyleven, Ryan, on and on and on.
