Young appeared in those two Big League games in September of 1971, going 2-for-4 with a double and run scored, thus the sum total of his playing career, even though he would hit very well in the Minor Leagues over the next six seasons for the Detroit and St. Louis Cardinals organizations.
By 1978 he was a Minor League instructor, before assuming other positions like scout and director of scouting for various teams.
It was while scouting that Young went on to organize “Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities”, aka “RBI” to introduce and give inner-city kids a chance to play the game.
It was while scouting he saw that few kids in inner-cities got the chance to play baseball, eventually reporting his findings to Major League baseball and Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, acquiring funds to launch the program in 1989.
The program exists to this day, now under direction of MLB, and continues to be an important part of kids from urban areas getting the chance to play organized baseball for the first time.
Sadly, Young passed away a couple of years ago at the age of 67 after suffering from diabetes, but his contributions to the game far exceed his action on a baseball diamond.
Really nice story to read about if you get the chance.
