In the 56 it made more sense to name it cy young . If they were to name it today I don't think it should have any of the early players.

Dustin, you're going to have to help out a bit.
How has the game changed " a ton "?
The basics, fundamentals, foundation of the game are still in place. In fact you can go to any neighborhood park and find people playing a ball game that's easily recognizable from current day or 100 years ago.
Sure there are teams throughout the country now, and bats have weight limits, and the mound is just a bit lower. But other than that, not much seems to have changed, imo.
