Well, good old Cy Young gets shelled for 8 runs in the first inning of his debut and manages to retire just one batter before Whitey Ford has to come on in relief.
Young's debut went like this: walk, single, single, double, single, single, triple, ground out (but the guy on third scored) and another single before he hit the showers for the night.
Since it's the end of the season in 2 games Young will finish the year with a nice 216.00 era.

My team in perfect saved and scrimped for 2+ seasons to get enough PP to buy the 100 Mike Trout... and near the end of this year I did save enough to get him (45k PP!!). Here's his stats for the year:
.143/.373/.224 - 16 games, 67 PA, 1 double, 1 homer, 17 BB (he was intentionally walked twice!). -0.2 WAR.
By the way, near the end of the year I found out I was randomly placed in the whale league, so Washington won 51 games on the year and we finished 71 GB the division winner.
