One of my favorites and the only one I've ever seen. 1913 an incredible year in Big Trains career.
In 1913, Johnson was 36-7 with a 1.14 ERA. His WAR of 15.1 that season is the best single-season total for any pitcher in the modern era (post 1900). Johnson's 13.2 WAR in 1912 is second on that list. During his career, Johnson amassed 10 full seasons with a sub 2.00 ERA and completed 531 of his 666 career starts.
In my opinion the greatest pitcher lifetime and if he had a good team behind him he would have surpassed Cy Young in the all time wins column.
