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.
Ohio State, now 6‑2 after a 30‑18 loss to USC, aims to bounce back against Oregon while courting top recruit Lincoln Fa’alafi, a 6’8, 360‑lb, 2028 four‑star offensive tackle ranked No. 10 at his position and No. 92 nationally. Fa’alafi has narrowed his offers to seven schools, including Ohio State, Oklahoma, UCLA, BYU, Notre Dame, Oregon and USC, and will visit the Buckeyes this weekend. The Buckeyes’ 2028 class leads 247Sports, but still lacks an offensive lineman, making Fa’alafi a key target. Additionally, Ohio State hosts running‑back prospects Nigel Newkirk and Daylon Gordon as it seeks to bolster its backfield after missing top targets earlier in the cycle.
