We remember Walter Johnson (1887-1946)


We remember Walter Johnson who was born on this day in 1887.   He died in 1946.

Check out these awesome statistics:  417 wins, 2.17 career ER, 3509 Ks, 531 complete games and 110 shutouts.   


He also lost 279 games!


Johnson had a .599 winning pct.   In other words, he lost 40% of his games.  


How do you lose 40% of your games with a 2.17 career ERA?   He must have had a lot of 1-0 or 2-1 complete game losses.
