1951 Topps Connie Mack's All-Star Walter Johnson
About this card
Connie Mack's All-Stars are eleven die-cut stand-ups of the all-time greats Connie Mack picked; every one of the eleven is in the Hall of Fame. They were made to be folded and stood up, so complete, unbent examples are hard to find.
About Walter Johnson
Johnson's place on an all-time staff rests on the decade from 1910 to 1919. He struck out 313 batters with a 1.36 ERA over 370 innings in 1910, went 33-12 with a 1.39 ERA in 1912, and led the American League in strikeouts 12 times, eight of them in a row from 1912. He won the pitching Triple Crown in 1913, 1918 and 1924, the last at age 36 with a 23-7 record. The Hall of Fame elected him in 1936 with 83.6% of the vote.
Walter Johnson pitched all 21 of his big-league seasons, 1907 to 1927, for the Washington Senators. He won 417 games with a 2.17 ERA. He also struck out 3,509 batters, and his 110 shutouts are still the career record. A right-hander with a sidearm delivery and a fastball that Ty Cobb said made him flinch, he was called the Big Train for the speed of that pitch. He won 20 or more games twelve times, ten of them in a row, and took the American League MVP award in 1913 and 1924. Washington finished last twice and next-to-last three times in his first five seasons, yet he won 36 games in 1913 and carried the club to the 1924 pennant and its only World Series title. He also hit .433 in 1925, a record for a pitcher. After retiring he managed Washington from 1929 to 1932 and Cleveland from 1933 to 1935. Johnson was one of the first five men elected to the Hall of Fame, in 1936.
