"When he retired in 1911 after a record 22 seasons, U.S. baseball player Cy Young had won more major league games—511—than any other pitcher. Born Denton True Young on March 29, 1867, in Gilmore, Ohio, he played for the Cleveland Spiders from 1890 to 1898, the St. Louis Cardinals from 1899 to 1900, the Boston Red Sox from 1901 to 1908, the Cleveland Indians from 1909 to 1911, and the Boston Braves in 1911. He pitched 750 complete games and 7,356 innings, including a stretch of 23 consecutive hitless innings in 1904. He recorded 76 shutouts and three no-hit, no-run games, including modern baseball’s first perfect game, on May 5, 1904. Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937, he is also commemorated in the Cy Young award for best major league pitcher each year,” - Encyclopedia Britannica
