	Autographed Baseballs -- Cy Young
		In a career spanning twenty-two major league seasons (1890-1911), Young established a number of career records which, under the dramatically different pitching conditions prevailing today, are almost certainly unbreakable: these include the marks for wins (511), complete games (750), and innings (7356 - over 1400 more than his closest rival).
		Season after season Young was among baseball's most effective pitchers, from his years with the National League's Cleveland Spiders in the 1890s through an eight-year stay with the Boston club of the newly formed American League after the turn of the century.
		Young was an unassuming man, of whom it was said that he would "retain about him that undefinable air of the farm as long as he lives." After his career ended he returned to his farm near Peoli, Ohio and lived quietly, frequently attending old-timer reunions and involving himself with Little League baseball.
