Thank goodness for the world wide interweb.

Walter Johnson pitching - Destined - 07-13-2009

In 1913, Walter Johnson went 36-7 with a WHIP of .780 and had more shutouts (11) than homers allowed (9). [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]

Not to mention a ERA of 1.14.

I'm actually surprised that he gave up 9 homers in that era. Winning 36 games for a lousy team is pretty good pitching, though.
You can see why he was especially tough to hit for right-handed batters; not only was he the fastest pitcher in the game, but he came in at you with a sweeping sidearm motion.
