Today the mayor of atlanta approved naming the street that runs in front of Fulton County Stadium, to be renamed Cy Youngville in honor of all the amazing pitchers that Hot'lanta has had since 81.
In 1980 the immortal Met Tom Seaver came to town, and his second season with the Braves (1981) proved to be one of his best, and he won the Cy Young trophy for the 3rd time in his career.
1982 had John Fulgham grab the award, going 23-2 with a 1.69 era.
1983: Jon Matlack, ATL, (Record: 23-5, 1.54 ERA, 233.2IP, 182 Ks, 43 BB)
1985: Don Robinson, ATL, (Record: 24-5, 1.68 ERA, 267.2IP, 153 Ks, 44 BB)
1990: Greg Maddux, ATL, (Record: 24-2, 1.67 ERA, 270IP, 153 Ks, 49 BB)
1991: Greg Maddux, ATL, (Record: 24-3, 1.40 ERA, 264IP, 206 Ks, 64 BB)
1995: Greg Maddux, ATL, (Record: 25-3, 1.72 ERA, 272.2IP, 194 Ks, 53 BB)
1996: John Smoltz, ATL, (Record: 27-5, 1.74 ERA, 278.2IP, 277 Ks, 61 BB)
Atlanta has been synonymous with elite pitching since 77, is there a chance that they can keep the gig going into the 2000's?
