On November 4, 1975, Orioles ace Jim Palmer becomes the first American League pitcher to win two outright Cy Young Awards, following his 1973 triumph. He posted a career‑high 23 wins, 10 shutouts and a 2.09 ERA, outpacing runner‑up Catfish Hunter by 24 voting points. Despite a rough 1974 injury‑plagued season, Palmer rebounded with a dominant 1975, earning AL Player of the Month and a rare 12‑inning, two‑run no‑decision win. The Hall of Fame piece highlights his historic achievement and sets up his third Cy Young win in 1976.
Pedro Martínez clinched his first NL Cy Young Award on Nov. 11, 1997, becoming the first Expos player and the first Dominican pitcher to win the honor. He posted a 17-8 record with a league‑best 1.90 ERA, 13 complete games, a 0.932 WHIP and 305 strikeouts—the first Latin American to surpass 300 Ks in a season. Despite the triumph, Montreal traded him to the Red Sox a week later. Martínez would later add two more Cy Youngs (1999, 2000) and enter the Hall of Fame in 2015, cementing his legacy as one of baseball’s all‑time greats.
Rowland Office, the 1975 Topps rookie highlighted in the Hall of Fame’s #CardCorner series, logged a 29‑game hitting streak in 1976—the closest any of his 11‑year MLB career (Braves, Expos, Yankees) came to joining the 30‑game club. Drafted by Atlanta in the fourth round of 1970, Office debuted at 19, became the youngest player in the majors that season, and later backed up Dusty Baker while taking over for Hank Aaron after the legend’s record‑breaking 715th homer on April 8, 1974. He finished 1974 with a .246 average in 131 games and finished his career batting .259. The article traces his rise from high‑school star to its most memorable streak and includes a Topps card photo.

The Yankees face a potential backup plan if closer David Bednar rejects his $23.15 million qualifying offer: Braves reliever Raisel Iglesias, who logged 34 saves, a 2.55 ERA, 64 strikeouts and 17 walks over 60 innings in 2026. At 36, Iglesias offers veteran late‑inning credibility, but a shorter deal may still carry a premium and forces New York to replace a known closer. Analyst Bryan Hoch notes the Yankees also have other bullpen free agents, like Paul Blackburn, and suggests negotiating with Bednar while pricing Iglesias in parallel to avoid last‑minute surprises. The piece weighs the trade‑off between a single elite closer versus a deeper, cost‑spread bullpen.
