Inside Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young's $1,200,000 childhood home, an Ohio log cabin on 35 acres of tranquil grassland

Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young had a stellar MLB career. A testament to that is the "Cy Young Award," bestowed to the best pitcher in both leagues. The right-handed pitcher was born in Gilmore, Ohio, and worked in his family farm before he entered the majors.

In 2021, Young's childhood home in Port Washington, Ohio, went for sale for $1.2 million. The property is 100 miles east of Columbus and the same distance south of Cleveland and is covered in grassland that spans 35 acres.

Over the years, the house has seen many upgrades, but according to Rebecca L. Terakedis of EXP Realty, the two-room cabin where Young once lived is still retained. The real estate includes a barn, a guest house, a pond and a studio.
