Walter Johnson - A Pitcher
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 644.... was drafted by the Washington Senators in 1907 for $9. His first year wasn't so good but in his second year he earned the name 'the big train' with an amazing won loss record.
Back when Walter pitched they had no Cy Young awards or league MVP awards but if they had, Walter would have won a dozen of each. On a team with a won loss record of around 60 and 94 Walter usually had half of their wins.

time. The problem was he was smaller than everybody else. Then in turn
he was the one that had gotten in the end. But by looking at Gagnon (gon-
