Young played for five teams.
Cleveland Spiders (NL), 1890-98 (and so missed on the 1899 team, which was historically disastrous, going 20-134).
St. Louis Cardinals (NL), 1899-1900 (known as the Perfectos in '99).
Boston Red Sox (AL), 1901-08.
Cleveland Naps (AL), 1909-11 (now known as the Indians).
Boston Rustlers (NL), 1911 (now known as the Braves).
Wins per franchise:
Spiders - 241
Cardinals - 45
Red Sox - 192
Naps - 29
Rustlers - 4
total - 511
For the Cardinals, Bob Gibson alone blows Young away; likewise Feller for the Indians/Naps, and Spahn for the Braves/Rustlers.
For the Red Sox, his 192 wins is tied for the franchise lead with some guy named Clemens.
That leaves the Spiders, a team formed in 1887 and contracted after 1899. Only two Spiders pitchers had more than Young's 241 wins in their entire CAREERS (John Clarkson and Jack Powell), and they did the bulk of their work elsewhere (Spiders W's: Clarkson 41, Powell 38). So Young is the undisputed leader for this team as well.
Two teams: Boston Red Sox (tied) and Cleveland Spiders.
