Episode 2 - The IMPOSSIBLE record
We love to hear your thoughts. Tell us how you enjoyed the Podcast.
Today’s 2nd episode will also be kinda analytical in discussing The Impossible Record. The Impossible Record? Yep, the one record that will just be forgotten as a stat. Never to be approached or talked about. What is it? The career record of COMPLETE GAMES. It is held by Cy Young, with a total of 749. That’s INSANE right? Cy Young got the top pitcher award named after him for a reason! So this is an old time sounding name? You are correct. Cy Young pitched from 1890 (age 23) to 1911 (age 44). It was a ridiculous era of baseball for sure. I don’t usually consider records until the “modern” era of baseball in the 1920’s, but come on…this stats are insane. Cy Young ALSO had 511 wins, oh sure that’s attainable as well. Lol. He threw a career number of 7356 innings. Ahhh, that’s not bad for an average of 334 innings PER year! Today though let’s talk about Complete Games. Remember that stat? If you have a chance look up the career of Cy Young on my favorite Baseball site, https://www.baseball-reference.com/.
