Baseball On Par With Other Professional Sports In Dealing With Bad Umpires - May 20
In 1993, of course, Anthony Young went 1-16 for the Mets. He went 1-16 for the Mets despite posting a 108 ERA+. That is not the fun fact. The fun fact is that, in Young’s lone win, he inherited a tie game in the ninth inning and allowed the go-ahead run. The Mets responded with two against Bryan Harvey for a walk-off.

Another fun fact about Anthony Young.
He had lost 18 in a row, tying the then NL record.
In his subsequent start, he threw six shutout innings against the Cubs, and left with a 1-0 lead.
The Mets bullpen gave up eight runs. Young got a no-decision and recorded nine more losses in a row before finally winning.
