Their careers are separated by an entire century, but sometime soon, Fernando Rodney and Cy Young will be equals -- at least in one way.
Young pitched in 906 games over a storied career that began in the 1800s and eventually landed him in the Hall of Fame, with baseball’s most prestigious pitching award bearing his name.
Rodney, working out of the A’s bullpen, pitched in his 902nd career game on Friday night, throwing a scoreless inning in Oakland's 3-2 loss in Houston. He recently passed lefty Arthur Rhodes (900) for 25th on the all-time list for pitching appearances, and Young is next up, in 24th.
