Twenty-five years ago, Anthony Young snapped his losing streak

Odds are Anthony Young was probably better at his job than you. He was a major league pitcher, and even the worst player in Major League Baseball is likely to be closer to the top of his profession than you are to yours. No offense.

In point of fact, Anthony Young was far from the worst major league player in his day, but he may have been the most unfortunate of his era, or any other. During the 1992 and 1993 seasons, the Met righty strung together 27 consecutive losing decisions, an unfathomable streak of accidental ineptitude unlikely to ever be surpassed.
