Denton True "Cy" Young was an American Major League Baseball pitcher. Born in Gilmore, Ohio, he worked on his family's farm as a youth before starting his professional baseball career. Young entered the major leagues in 1890 with the National League's Cleveland Spiders and pitched for them until 1898, he was transferred to the St. Louis Cardinals franchise. In 1901, Young jumped to the American League and played for the Boston Red Sox franchise until 1908, helping them win the 1903 World Series, he finished his career with the Cleveland Naps and Boston Rustlers, retiring in 1911. Young was one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in the game early in his career. After his speed diminished, he remained effective into his forties. By the time Young retired, he had established numerous pitching records, some of which have stood for over a century, he holds MLB records for the most career wins, with 511, along with most career innings pitched, games started, complete games. He led his league in wins during five seasons and pitched three no-hitters, including a perfect game.

Young was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937. In 1956, one year after his death, the Cy Young Award was created to honor the best pitcher in each league for each season. Cy Young was the oldest child born to Jr. a German American and Nancy Mottmiller. He was christened Denton True Young; the couple had four more children: Jesse Carlton, Alonzo and Anthony. When the couple married, McKinzie's father gave him the 54 acres of farm land. Young was born in Gilmore, a tiny farming community located in Washington Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, he was went by the name Dent Young in his early years. Young was known as "Farmer Young" and "Farmboy Young". Young stopped his formal education after he completed the sixth grade so he could help out on the family's farm. In 1885, Young moved with his father to Nebraska, in the summer of 1887, they returned to Gilmore. Young played for many amateur baseball leagues during his youth, including a semi-professional Carrollton team in 1888. Young played second base.

The first box score known containing the name Young came from that season. In that game, Young had three hits in three at-bats. After the season, Young received an offer to play for the minor league Canton team, which started Young's professional career. Young began his professional career in 1889 with the Canton, team of the Tri-State League, a professional minor league. During his tryout, Young impressed the scouts, recalling years "I tore the boards off the grandstand with my fast ball." Cy Young's nickname came from the fences. The fences looked. Reporters shortened the name to "Cy", which became the nickname Young used for the rest of his life. During Young's one year with the Canton team, he won 15 games and lost 15. Franchises in the National League, the major professional baseball league at the time, wanted the best players available to them. Therefore, in 1890, Young signed with the Cleveland Spiders, a team which had moved from the American Association to the National League the previous year.

On August 6, 1890, Young's major league debut, he pitched a three-hit 8–1 victory over the Chicago Colts. While Young was on the Spiders, Chief Zimmer was his catcher more than any other player. Bill James, a baseball statistician, estimated that Zimmer caught Young in more games than any other battery in baseball history. Early on, Young established himself as one of the harder-throwing pitchers in the game. Bill James wrote that Zimmer put a piece of beefsteak inside his baseball glove to protect his catching hand from Young's fastball. In the absence of radar guns, however, it is impossible to say just how hard Young threw. Young continued to perform at a high level during the 1890 season. On the last day of the season, Young won both games of a doubleheader. In the first weeks of Young's career, Cap Anson, the player-manager of the Chicago Colts spotted Young's ability. Anson told Spiders manager Gus Schmelz, "He's too green to do your club much good, but I believe if I taught him what I know, I might make a pitcher out of him in a couple of years.

He's not worth it now, but I'm willing to give you $1,000 for him." Schmelz replied, "Cap, you can keep your thousand and we'll keep the rube." Two years after Young's debut, the National League moved the pitcher's position back by 5 feet. Since 1881, pitchers had pitched within a "box" whose front line was 50 feet from home base, since 1887 they had been compelled to toe the back line of the box when delivering the ball; the back line was 55 feet 6 inches away from home. In 1893, 5 feet was added to the back line, yielding the modern pitching distance of 60 feet 6 inches. In the book The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers, sports journalist Rob Neyer wrote that the speed with which pitchers like Cy Young, Amos Rusie, Jouett Meekin threw was the impetus that caused the move; the 1892 regular season was a success for Young, who led the National League in wins, ERA, shutouts. Just as many contemporary Minor League Baseball leagues operate today, the National League was using a split season format during the 1892 season.

The Boston Beaneaters won the first-half title, the Spiders won the second-half title, with a best-of-nine series determining the league champion. Despite the Spiders' second half run, the Beaneaters swept five games to none. Young lost two decisions, he threw a complete game shutout, bu

The Bill Williams River is a 46.3-mile-long river in west-central Arizona where it, along with its tributary, the Santa Maria River, form the boundary between Mohave County to the north and La Paz County to the south. It is a major drainage westwards into the Colorado River of the Lower Colorado River Valley south of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, the drainage basin covers portions of northwest, west-central Arizona; the equivalent drainage system paralleling the east–west lower reaches of the Bill Williams is the Gila River, which flows east-to-west across central Arizona, joining the Colorado River in the southwest at Yuma. The confluence of the Bill Williams River with the Colorado is north of Parker, south of Lake Havasu City. To the north of the river are the Artillery Mountains, the Rawhide Mountains and the Bill Williams Mountains. To the south lie the Buckskin Mountains; the old mining camp of Swansea lies in the Buckskin Mountains about 3.7 miles south of the river. The two tributaries that form the Bill Williams are the Santa Maria River.

Alamo Lake, a flood control reservoir, lies just west of the confluence of the two tributaries. The reservoir and state park is a major recreation region on the river; the confluence of the Bill Williams River with the Colorado River is just north of Parker Dam and the entire riparian environment has state parks and wilderness areas: Buckskin Mountain State Park, Cattail Cove State Park, the Gibraltar Mountain and Cactus Plain wilderness areas. Fish species in the Bill Williams river include largemouth bass, yellow bullhead, green sunfish, carp, red shiner, razorback sucker, others; the lowland leopard frog, North American river otter, muskrat, Arizona toad, spiny-spotted turtle are among the major aquatic vertebrates found in or near the water. Plants in the riparian zones include several kinds of willows as well as bulrushes, saltcedar; the Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge near Parker is frequented by at least 335 species of birds. The city of Scottsdale, Arizona owned a ranch on the river and planned to export water from it.

However, in 2006, Scottsdale sold the ranch & surroundings to the Phelps Dodge mining company, operating it as a nature reserve, under a government program for companies to restore habitat in one area to balance environmental damage caused elsewhere. The Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge protects the lower course of the river, to its mouth at Lake Havasu reservoir; the Sonoran Desert rare riparian habitat of Bill Williams River NWR draws a variety of Neotropical migratory birds, from Central and South America en route to their breeding grounds in the north. It has one of the last stands of the natural Cottonwood-Willow Forests plant community along the lower Colorado River, with Fremont's cottonwood and Goodding's willow the primary tree species.
