Additional Information
With a career that spanned more than two decades, Walter Johnson remains one of the most influential and iconic figures in the early part of early twentieth-century professional baseball history. A figure that helped transform the sport into the modern era during this and is pictured here in 1924 with the Washington Senators nicknamed "The Big Train," Johnson is widely regarded as one of the greatest pitchers in all of baseball history. Following his retirement from playing, Johnson went on to manage the Senators, followed by a stint managing the Cleveland Indians until his eventual retirement from his career in 1935.
Johnson led the league in strikeouts, holding a Major League record of twelve seasons as the pitcher with the most, followed by another iconic pitcher, Nolan Ryan. Johnson is also the only pitcher in history to hold four hundred wins during his career and strike out nearly four thousand batters. In 1936, Johnson was among the first five players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and his reputation for good sportsmanship remains a hallmark trait of his career, with his name becoming synonymous with friendly competition.
This iconic photograph captures Johnson's jovial spirit and bears a distinctive aesthetic and classic style that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. Johnson's legacy continues to inspire players too this day as the sport has become popular outside of the United States and reached new heights of viewership and attendance.
