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.

We remember Keith Emerson (1941-2016)

We remember Keith Emerson who was born in the UK on this day in 1941 and passed away in 2016.   

Keith was the keyboardist of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, a great band from the 1970's.   

They released several best selling LPs and many good songs.    My favorite after all of these years is "Lucky man".
