Justin Verlander, new starting pitcher for the Giants, won his last Cy Young at age 39. He is now 42, and a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year...along with being a candidate for the Cy Young award.

Only three pitchers have won the Cy Young at an age older than Verlander was when he won his last Cy Young. Who were they? One of them was a Giant.

Perry was the Giant.  Otherwise, I just know Nolan Ryan is not one of the 3 ;-) Randy Johnson?

Yes on Perry. He is #2 on the list, age 40 & 17 days, 21-6, 2.73 ERA, got 22 of 24 first place votes.

Randy Johnson won his last at age 38, he's #6 on the list.

Nolan Ryan never actually won the Cy Young. Closest he came was finishing second in 1973 when he was 21-16 with 383 strikeouts. Ryan led the league in both strikeouts and walks, the second of six seasons in which he achieved that feat.

The other two played for the Sox.
