When you talk about the great pitcher,or players for that matter,to ever play the game of baseball you must think of this man.Walter Johnson.The man was one of the greatest ballplayers who ever played and deserves his due.He did all this for a Washington Senators team that was never quite good until he got there.
Walter Did many things in his career like:
416 Wins, Only Cy young had more
279 losses(.599 winning percentage)
2.17 ERA
801 Games
666 Games started
531 Complete games (ouch)
5923 Innings
3508 strikeouts,only surpassed by Nolan Ryan,Steve Carlton,and Gaylord Perry,all after he was retired and dead.
In 1913 had 36 wins,a 1.14 ERA and won AL MVP(He also won MVP in 1924)
Had 12 consecutive 20 win seasons
Also was 9th all time in HR's by a pitcher(24)
Was afraid of hitting players though he hit more players than any other pitcher in baseball history(him and Craig Biggio would have had quite some matchups)
He played for the Senators his entire MLB career from 1907 to 1927 for the initially woeful Senators,and helped make them world champs(though only once.When the sporting news named the top 100 players of all time Johnson was #4.He was aslo among the 5 players who were in the first Hall Of fame class,which were (firgive me if I'm wrong)George Sisler,Rogers Hornsby,Babe Ruth,and Ty Cobb.
He was one of baseball's elite,give him his due.

Walter Johnson along with Nolan Ryan, Cy Young, and Greg Maddux are my favorite pitchers of all-time.
