THE Calvert SPORTS COLUMN
Fifty-one years and a few days ago, on
May 5, 1904, there was pitched the first
perfect game in the history of the American
Baseball League. We recall this fact because
the pitcher who threw this no -hit, no-man-to-
reaeh-first recently celebrated his 88th birth-
day,
imd �raarage. And eaand is still rlerthis oett hewas
celebrated in a. day named in his honor at the Boston Red
Sox baseball park.

Jovian bolts at the Pirates that included thfabuloFlying
Dutchman, Honus Wagner. John McGraw, the little Napoleon
of the Giants, had tagged Wagner the greatest player of all
time. But it didn't make any difference to Cy Young whether
it was Wagner or anybody else. He blew the ball right by
them all.
A year later, he pitched the first perfect game in the
American League. His victims were the Philadelphia Athletics,
Not one of the A's reached first base. Rube Waddell, great-
est southpaw in the game at the timer was his opponent,
Even at the age of 44 when the most durable pitchers
have been retired for a decade, he was still hurling for
Boston Nationals. It was only fitting that Cy Young was
named in the first group elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame
at Cooperstown, N.Y.
The great Cy wasn't alone in his iron -man feats, for the
baseball of his era produced some unbelievably durable
moundsmen. In 1904 came the amazing performance of an-
other world's series pitching hero, Bill Dinneen, who during
that campaign pitched one of the longest stretches in baseball
history without being relieved -337 innings. This included 37
complete games, and almost covered the season's duration.
Dinneen, too, hurled for the Red Sox. And in the same
era, there was the imortal Christy Matthewson, who won
three games of a five -game world 'series test against the
Athletics, in 1905. He pitched a shut -out in each game, allowed,
a total of only 13 safe hits in the three.
They really _bred 'em tough and durable in those half-
forgotten days. And none tougher than Cy Young.
