Hall of Fame Inducts Young Wednesday, January 17th , 2024 101 home runs, 534 hits and 318 RBIs are the stuff of legend, but Joe Young doesn't see it that way. "For me, baseball is about the team winning. I could have taken an 0-for-4 that day, but if our team won, I don't think you could have come into the locker room and been able to tell that I did not get a hit because the most important thing to me was that we won. That was what we intended to do when we took the field. That's what it was about." Fortunately for baseball's newest immortal, he had far more good days than bad days. That's why Young has been installed into the Major Superior League Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association. In his historic career the standout first baseman participated in 472 games, batted .305, scored 353 runs... and won a few games, too. |
