Cy Young, Nolan Ryan, and Greg Maddux

These 3 guys have 2 things in common but 1 of them might not be what you think

(A Thread)

Follow along and I'll tell you what I know

👇🏻
These 3 guys were all professional baseball players and are some of the winningest pitchers in the history of the game.

Cy Young who tops the list has almost 100 MORE wins than the next closest guy

If you know anything about baseball, you know this is mindblowing 🤯
Nolan Ryan and Greg Maddux were arguably 2 of the best pitchers of their generations but they both had almost 150 fewer wins than Cy Young

Still, they are known for being winners and absolutely dominant winners at that

But, did you know...
That all 3 of these guys also have more LOSSES than almost every other pitcher in the history of the game 😲

That's right!

Some of the most dominant, winningest, GREATEST players to ever play the game of baseball, also lost more than almost every other player.

👇🏻
So, don't get discouraged about your minor setbacks, obstacles, or lack of success early on...

Just remember that some of the greatest ever have also experienced setbacks and obstacles.

The difference is, they didn't just lose and go home, they kept going

Don't give up! 💪🏻...
In the end, you will be defined by what you accomplished

Not by the losses you suffered along the way

What do you think?

Do sports stories resonate with you like they do with me?

Was this encouraging or thought-provoking?
