...Last Red Sox player to win Cy Young award: Jim Lonborg...
...York, Ron Guidry is washed up and Joe Niekro has a 9.71 earned runs average in his last eight starts. The Yankees last week started two pitchers, Al Holland and Tim Stoddard, who had not started for four years. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, manager Earl Weaver was using former Cy Young award winner Mike Flanagan in relief. The only team in the division whose record matches up with Boston's against the East is the Toronto Blue Jays.

Gooden and the St. Louis Cardinals' ace John Tudor stared each other into stupors, but even Tudor picked himself second for the Cy Young. "Just one time," Tudor said, "I'd like to throw a ball like that." Leaving only the archaic record holders in peace, Gooden forced Herb Score to share another modern mark: two 200-strikeout seasons right...
