"It's OK," Young said during a Major League Baseball Alumni Association golf tournament in Houston earlier this season. "I'm used to it."
Young's record? He set a Major League mark by losing 27 consecutive games in which he had a decision. The streak spanned two seasons, both with the Mets, beginning May 6, 1992, and lasting through July 24, 1993.
Four days later, on July 28, Young's streak ended. He got the win, but in a manner that was sort of fitting, given how the previous 14 months had gone.
The Marlins and Mets were tied 3-3 in the ninth, and Young entered to face the Nos.
