ANALYSIS/OPINION
Max Scherzer has become the most decorated and honored starting pitcher in Washington since the glory days of the great Big Train, Walter Johnson himself.
Scherzer’s had two no-hitters, a near perfect game, and won the coveted National League Cy Young award for his outstanding 2016 season — a 20-7 record with a 2.96 ERA and 284 strikeouts in 228 1/3 innings pitched.
We all know about Cy Young. He is the stuff of legends, even though his 22-year career ended 105 years ago. If you are a baseball fan, there is certain knowledge that is seared into your brain.
