Walter Johnson was born on Sunday, November 6, 1887, in Humboldt, Kansas. Johnson was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 2, 1907, with the Washington Senators.

"The first time I faced him (Walter Johnson) I watched him take that easy windup and then something went past me that made me flinch. The thing just hissed with danger. We couldn't touch him....every one of us knew we'd met the most powerful arm ever turned loose in a ball park." - Ty Cobb
