Fred Potter, age 12, of Bowling Green, Ohio, for his question:

WHO WAS CY YOUNG?

A very prestigious trophy called the Cy Young Award is presented to a National League baseball pitcher each year. This year's award went to the young pitcher from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Fernando Valenzuela. Valenzuela is the youngest ever to win the prize: He was only 20 years old as this year's baseball season came to an end. He turned 21 on November 8, 1981.

The Cy Young Award was named after one of baseballs greatest right handed pitchers. Young was born in Gilmore, Ohio, in 1867 and died at the age of 88 in 1955. His real name was Denton True Young.

Young won a record 511 major league games between 1890 and 1911. He pitched for the Cleveland Spiders, the St. Louis Nationals, the  Boston Red Sox, the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Braves. Cy Young was elected to the National Baseball Hall of fame in 1937.
