MONSTER CARD MONDAY: 1903 Cy Young
By Scott Fennessy
I know everyone thought with Tom being away there would not be a Monster Monday card, but surprise! Here we go. Today’s card is the legend himself, Cy Young. This is from his 1903 season where he went 28-9 with a miserly 2.08 ERA and impressive .96 WHIP.
Young lead the American League in victories, win percentage, complete games, shutouts, and to my surprise, saves. Granted two is nothing to brag about, but he still lead the league. Innings pitched, lowest BB per nine innings, and best walk to strikeout ratio.
What makes this card truly stand out as a monster is in addition to his A&C YZ rating on the mound is his ability with the bat. While he was never a great hitter, he hit over .250 three times, and in 1903 hit his peak with 44 hits in 137 at bats for a .321 average. He hit 6 doubles, 3 triples and hit one home run.
Fun numbers: 15-7, 25-7, 64-9
A decent pitcher. But he never won a Cy Young award – how good could he be?
He also lost more games than anyone in history! What a bum!

I can’t find it anywhere, what did A Rods card the year he hit .358 look like.I believe he had 51 doubles and 31 homeruns.
