Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Denton True “Cyclone” Young. Cy was short for Cyclone, already his nickname. He started the majors with the Cleveland Spiders. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right-hander first accomplished the feat in the first half of a doubleheader in September of 1897, and seven years later he one-upped himself by throwing a perfect game against the Philadelphia Athletics. Young would add the 3rd no-hitter in 1908. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
