Loss-record pitcher dies
Print Edition
FORMER New York Mets pitcher Anthony Young, who set a major league record with 27 straight losses, has died. He was 51. The Mets said Young died on Tuesday in Houston after a long illness. He had told former teammates this spring that he had a brain tumor. Young’s streak of losses began in 1992 with the Mets and stretched into the next season. In all, the drought spanned 74 appearances. The right-hander often pitched well during the streak, and posted 15 saves in 1992. But he went 2-14 that season and then 1-16 the next year. Young joined the Chicago Cubs in 1994 and finished with the Houston Astros in 1996. He was 15-48 with a 3.89 ERA in his career.
