  1. Walter Johnson The Greatest Pitcher of All-Time without a doubt. My first pick for Greatest Team. BIRTH NAME: Walter Perry Johnson NICKNAMES: Big Train, Sir Walter, White Knight BIRTH DATE: November 6, 1887 BIRTH PLACE: Humboldt, Kansas DEATH DATE: December 10, 1946 DEATH PLACE: Washington, D.C. BURIAL LOCATION: Rockville Union Cemetery - Rockville, Maryland HEIGHT: 6' 1" WEIGHT: 200 lbs HAIR COLOR: Brown THREW: Right BATTED: Right PLAYED FOR: Washington Senators (1907-1927) ML DEBUT: August 2, 1907 (Facing the Detroit Tigers) FINAL GAME: September 30, 1927 (Facing the New York Yankees) HONORS: AL Most Valuable Player (1913, 1924), Hall of Fame Inductee (1936) STATS: Check them out - Who knows how many wins he would have had with another team. http://www.baseball-reference.com/j/johnswa01.shtm FACTS: * A high school in Bethesda, Maryland is named after Johnson, the only high school in the United States named after a baseball player. * Most estimates place his fast ball at 97-99 MPH (7-12 MPH faster than most other great pitchers of his time) * Pitched the most consecutive innings without giving up a home run (369) * In 1907 during the Idaho State League - he pitched 77 scoreless innings as a 19 year old. Made his big league debut that August. "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
