001In 1903, Sai Young threw seven of the league's 97 shutouts, often on two days rest. In 342 innings, I'm going to say that number again. 342 innings, he walked only 37 batters. And don't forget, this was before the DH, so he had to hit too. The Red Sox and Sai Young treated Boston to the kind of season fans would later call typical, a strong start and a midsummer fold. Only in 1903 they recovered and went on their way to their first penant.
