About Walter Johnson
#349, his 1976 All-Time All-Stars card, shows Johnson with the Washington Senators. In the 1924 World Series he lost Game 1 to the New York Giants 4-3 in 12 innings and Game 5 by 6-2. Manager Bucky Harris brought him into Game 7 in the ninth with the score tied 3-3. He held the Giants scoreless for four innings, twice striking out George Kelly after intentional walks to Ross Youngs, and Muddy Ruel scored the winning run in the 12th when an Earl McNeely grounder hopped over Fred Lindstrom.
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.
